Solution

To find the percentage of children who had access to a computer at home but did not use it, we subtract the percentage of children who used a computer at home from the percentage of children who had access to a computer at home.

Step 1: Identify the percentage of children who had access to a computer at home. This is given as 24%.

Step 2: Identify the percentage of children who used a computer at home. This is given as 18%.

Step 3: Subtract the percentage of children who used a computer at home from the percentage of children who had access to a computer at home.

24% - 18% = 6%

So, 6% of the children who had access to a computer at home did not use a computer at home.
