Araceli Lozano · Answer 1

64% chance of white flowers

36% chance of purple flowers

Explanation:

If you add 545 (White) together with 306 (Purple) you will get the total amount of flowers that were produced, which is 851 flowers.

Now to find the percent of white flowers you must divide 545 by 851 and you will get approximately 0.6404 then you multiply this by 100 and you get 64.04 you can round this number to 64. This means that there was a 64% chance of producing white flowers.

To find the percent of purple flowers is the same process. Take 306 and divide it by 851. You should get approximately 0.3595 you then multiply this by 100 and get 35.95 you can round this number to 36, this means that there was a 36% chance of producing purple flowers.
