The total number of moths in the population is 47 + 15 + 34 = <<47+15+34=96>>96 moths.
The probability of a moth being black is 34 out of 96, which can be simplified to the fraction 34/96.
To express this as a percentage, you divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100%: (34/96) * 100% ≈ 35.42%.
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the approximate probability of a moth being black is 35%.
