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)
To predict how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would need to order, we need to calculate the percentage of students who chose roses with a red bow out of the total number of students surveyed.
Total number of students who chose roses with a red bow: 15
Total number of students surveyed: 15 + 12 + 5 = 32
Percentage of students who chose roses with a red bow: (15 / 32) * 100 = 46.875%
Now, we can apply this percentage to the total number of boxes (1,567) to estimate how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would need to order.
Estimated number of boxes of roses with red bows: 1,567 * 0.46875 = 734.6875
Rounded to the nearest whole number, Adam would need to order approximately 735 boxes of roses with red bows.
