Stephanie surveyed the students in her class to find out their favorite color. her results are in the table. what percent of stephanie's classmates did not chooseblue as their favorite color? color number red 6 blue 9 other 10

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to find the amount of classmates out of the entire class who did not choose blue as their favorite color and then convert it into a percentage. 

First, let's find the fraction:

Since there are 25 total people in her class, since

6 + 9 + 10 = 25

25 is the denominator of the fraction;

Since there are 16 people who did not choose blue,

6 + 10 = 16

16 is the numerator of the fraction. 

So, our fraction is 16/25. 

Now, we need to convert it into a percentage. To do this, we need to make the denominator 100 by multiplying it by a certain number, and then multiplying the numerator by that same number so the fraction stays equal:

16/25 
= 16*4/25*4
= 64/100
= 64%

So, the answer is 64% of Stephanie's classmates.

Hope this helps!
