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

Based on the data in the table, the total number of students who preferred roses with a red bow is 15.

To find out how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would need to order, we can set up a proportion:

Total number of boxes of roses with red bows / Total number of students who prefer roses with red bows = Total number of boxes of flowers to be sold / Total number of students surveyed

Let x be the total number of boxes of roses with red bows ordered.

x / 15 = 1567 / (15+12+5+8+5+9+17+12+7)

x / 15 = 1567 / 90

x = 1567 * 15 / 90
x = 261.17

Rounding to the nearest whole number, Adam would need to order 261 boxes of roses with red bows.
