I'll tell my child 66% opt orange is becos MM knowns that an apple a day will keep you away from doctor and our public hospitals will go bankrupt, thus shd opt for orange.

 

[JinGanKor]

but the problem is even you can convince some, the top will bring in another 1000000 children.

So...

1,980,000 eats oranges
990,000 eats apples
30,000 don't know (most probably they like bananas)

128,700 apple 'preachers'

257,400 'converts'

of which you could have (at extremes)

all those who were converted ate oranges
257,400 (orange->apple)

AND

all those who don't know converted, as well as the balance of orange eaters.
30,000 (don't know->apple) 227,400 (orange->apple)

so you would end up with anything from
57.42% to 58.42% who still eat oranges

If you want a single answer, I'd say 57.92%

[mockingbird]

990,000 eats apples
128,700 apple 'preachers'

Apple 'preachers' = 3,000,000 x 13% = 390,000

 

[Baimi]

Just tell the children an apple a day keep the doctor away
