    The chances are 100%

    Explanation:

    A dominant allele is the allele that expresses itself in the offspring even if it is present in heterozygous condition (Bb). So when a woman with homozygous dominant (BB) condition of brown eyes reproduces with a man having recessive blue eyes (bb) then all the offsprings with heterozygous dominant condition for brown eyes will be produced.

    B B

    b Bb Bb

    b Bb Bb

    All the offsprings will have one dominant allele which is enough to produce brown eyes therefore all the offsprings will have brown eyes. So the chances are 100%.
