Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall percentage formula

To find the percentage, we use the formula $\text{Percentage}=\text{Value}\div\text{Total}\times100$. For boys, the value of those who prefer to play inside is $0.252$ and the total for boys is $0.252 + 0.329$.

Step2: Calculate the total for boys

$0.252+0.329 = 0.581$.

Step3: Calculate the percentage

$\text{Percentage}=\frac{0.252}{0.581}\times 100$. $ \frac{0.252}{0.581}\times100\approx43.4%$.

Answer:

$43.4$
