Answer:

88%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 25 students in her class. 3 of them have blue eyes. The ratio is 3:25, which can be written as 3/25.

1) Make the denominator 100.

Multiply the numerator and denominator by 4 to get 12/100.

2) Rewrite as a percentage.

12/100 = 12%.

There is a 12% probability that a student chosen at random will have blue eyes.

To find out the probability that the student will NOT have blue eyes, subtract 12 from 100 to get 88.

Final answer: 88%
