Adam conducted a survey of his fellow students to determine which flowers they would buy with which kind of bow. 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.

boxes
To predict how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would have to order, we first need to find the proportion of boxes that were roses with red bows in the survey.
Total number of boxes with roses and a red bow = 15
Total number of boxes with roses = 15 + 12 + 5 = 32
Proportion of boxes that were roses with red bows in the survey = 15/32
Now, we can use this proportion to predict how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would have to order out of 1,567 total boxes of flowers.
Predicted number of boxes of roses with red bows = (15/32) * 1567 ≈ 733
Therefore, Adam would have to order approximately 733 boxes of roses with red bows if he were to sell 1,567 total boxes of flowers.
