    The probability that the restaurant in town 4 has a non-vegetarian sandwich as its top selling menu item is the sum of the probabilities of all the non-vegetarian sandwiches which is 5.86% + 6.24% + 6.24% + 6.33% = 24.67%

    The probability that the restaurant in town 4 has ham sandwich as its top selling menu item is 6.24%

    Therefore, the probability that the restaurant in town 4 has a non-vegetarian sandwich as its top-selling menu item which is a ham sandwich is given by 6.24 / 24.67 = 0.2529 = 25.29%
