Question

Type of Event Total Number of Students Roses and a Red Bow 15 Roses and a Yellow Bow 12 Roses and a Green Bow 5 Carnations and a Red Bow 8 Carnations and a Yellow Bow 5 Carnations and a Green Bow 9 Daisies and a Red Bow 17 Daisies and a Yellow Bow 12 Daisies and a Green Bow 7 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. (1 point) boxes

Answer 1

Based on the data provided, the total number of students who chose roses with a red bow is 15.

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 students chose roses with a red bow out of a total of 66 students (15 + 12 + 5 + 8 + 5 + 9 + 17 + 12 + 7 = 66).

So, the number of boxes of roses with red bows Adam should order can be calculated as follows:
15/66 = x/1567

Cross multiply:
15 * 1567 = 66x
23505 = 66x
x ≈ 356

Therefore, Adam would have to order approximately 356 boxes of roses with red bows if he were to sell 1,567 total boxes of flowers.
