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 1567 total boxes of flowers. Round to the nearest whole number
To predict how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would have to order, we need to first calculate the proportion of boxes of roses with red bows based on the survey results.
Total boxes of roses with red bows = 15
Total boxes of roses with yellow bows = 12
Total boxes of roses with green bows = 5
Therefore, the proportion of boxes of roses with red bows is 15 / (15 + 12 + 5) = 15 / 32
Now, to predict the number of boxes of roses with red bows out of 1567 total boxes of flowers, we multiply the proportion by the total number of boxes:
Predicted boxes of roses with red bows = (15 / 32) * 1567 ≈ 732
Therefore, Adam would have to order approximately 732 boxes of roses with red bows to sell 1567 total boxes of flowers.
