Final answer:

To find the percentage of people who did not say blue out of 50 people, subtract the number of people who said blue from the total, divide by the total, and multiply by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of people who did not say blue out of 50 people, we subtract the number of people who said blue (16) from the total number of people (50) and then divide that by the total number of people and multiply by 100.

(50 - 16) / 50 x 100 = 34 / 50 x 100 = 68%

So, 68% of people did not say blue.
