3. Stephanie surveyed the students in her class to find out their favorite color. Her results are: Red 6, Blue 9, Other 10. What percent of Stephanie’s classmates did not choose blue as their favorite color? *
Stephanie surveyed a total of 25 students. 9 of them chose blue as a favorite color, and 16 did not. We will focus on those that did not choose blue as a favorite color.
16 out of 25 students did not choose blue as their favorite color. Divide 25 into 16:
[tex]16 \div 25 = 0.64[/tex]
Multiply this decimal by 100 to find the percentage:
[tex]0.64 * 100 = 64[/tex]
64% of students did not choose blue as their favorite color.
