The answer may be 25.2% but I'm not 100% sure.

Okay first thing you want to do is find the overall amount that you get from adding all of the decimals above. Once you do that you get 1. Then you want to take 0.252. From this you know that the number you just got is more then %25 percent of 1. That means %10 is equal to 0.100. Now you just take the 0.002 added to 0.25 to get %25.2. You could also say %25 percent if your rounding.

Final answer: %25 or (%25.2) of the boys prefer to play inside.
