Question

The types of flowers shown in the table make up an arrangement. What percent of the flowers in the arrangement are roses

Flower Arrangement
Lilies: 4
Roses: 15
Snapdragons: 6

Answer 1

I think it is 60% cause 15 ÷ 25= 0.6

Answer 2

step 1) 4 lilies + 15 roses + 6 snapdragons = 25 total flowers which equals 100%
step 2) 15 roses / 25 total flowers IS EQUAL TO x% / 100%
step 3) cross multiply
1500 = 25x
step 4) divide
1500/25 = 25x/25
answer: x= 60%
