38% order a chicken dinner

Step-by-step explanation:

40% order tacos. 50% of 40% order chicken tacos. 50% of 40% = 0.5 * 0.4 = 0.2 = 20% order chicken tacos.

60% order fajitas. 30% of 60% order chicken fajitas. 30% of 60% = 0.3 * 0.6 = 0.18 = 18% order chicken fajitas.

20% + 18% = 38% order a chicken dinner.
