When flipping a fair coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads and tails. The probability of getting heads (P(heads)) is 50%, while the probability of getting tails (P(tails)) is also 50%.

Since "not heads" means getting tails, we have:

P(not heads) = P(tails) = 50%

Therefore, P(not heads) as a percentage is:

50%
