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:
