To find the probability that Harper selects a lime chew, we use the formula for experimental probability:

$P(\text{lime chew}) = \frac{\text{number of lime chews selected}}{\text{total trials}}$

Substituting the given values:

$P(\text{lime chew}) = \frac{10}{38}$

Now, we convert this fraction to a percentage:

$P(\text{lime chew}) \times 100 = \left(\frac{10}{38} \times 100\right)$

$= \left(\frac{1000}{38}\right) \approx 26.32$

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

$26\%$

Final Answer:

The probability that the next chew will be a lime chew is 26%.
