To calculate the percentage chance that if a farmer prefers to grow carrots they have rocky soil, we need to divide the number of farmers who prefer to grow carrots with rocky soil by the total number of farmers who prefer to grow carrots.

Number of farmers who prefer to grow carrots with rocky soil = 100
Total number of farmers who prefer to grow carrots = 220

Percentage chance = (100 / 220) * 100 = 45.5%

Therefore, the answer is 45.5%.
