He created the table to show the results of the experiment. Predict how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would have to order if he were to sell 1,567 total boxes of flowers. Round to the nearest whole number. (1 point)

To predict how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would have to order, we first need to find the proportion of students who chose roses with a red bow.
The total number of students who chose roses with a red bow is 15.
The total number of students is the sum of all students who chose flowers:
15 + 12 + 5 = 32
So, the proportion of students who chose roses with a red bow is 15/32.
To find out how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would have to order if he were to sell 1,567 total boxes of flowers, we can set up a proportion:
15/32 = x/1567
Cross-multiply to solve for x:
32x = 15 * 1567
32x = 23505
x = 735.15625
Since we can't order a fraction of boxes, we round to the nearest whole number:
Adam would have to order approximately 735 boxes of roses with red bows.
