We know she doesn't like coconut and toffee, so she likes caramel, mint and cherry. When we count the ones she liked, we got $16+12+14=42$ .

When we add to find how many chocolates are there, we got $16+10+12+14+8=60$ .

To find the ratio we need to divide the first one and the second one: $\frac{42}{60} = \frac{7}{10} = 0.7$ is our probability.
