Answer:


  • \boxed{\boxed{\sf{\:\:\: \green{Percentage = 28\%}\:\:\: }}}


\\

Explanation:

We know that the total number of kids is 150. We can find the number of kids with green, brown, and gray eyes using the given percentages:


\sf\dashrightarrow Green\: eyes = 6\: kids


\sf\dashrightarrow Brown\: eyes = 0.52 * 150 = 78\: kids


\sf\dashrightarrow Gray\: eyes = 0.16 * 150 = 24\: kids


\\

To find the number of kids with blue eyes, we can subtract the number of kids with green, brown, and gray eyes from the total number of kids:


\sf\dashrightarrow Blue\: eyes = 150 - 6 - 78 - 24


\sf\dashrightarrow Blue\: eyes = 42\: kids


\\

Finally, we can calculate the percentage of kids with blue eyes by dividing the number of kids with blue eyes by the total number of kids and multiplying by 100:


\sf\implies Percentage = (42)/(150) * 100


\sf\implies Percentage = (4,200)/(150)


\sf\implies Percentage = \green{28\%}


\\


\\

Therefore, 28% of the kids have blue eyes.
