To 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, we first need to calculate the proportion of boxes of roses with red bows based on the given data.
Total number of boxes of roses with red bows = 15 (roses with red bow) + 98 (carnations with red bow) + 17 (daisies with red bow) = 130
Proportion of boxes of roses with red bows = 130 / (15 + 98 + 17) = 130 / 130 = 1
Now, to predict the number of boxes of roses with red bows out of 1,567 total boxes, we multiply the total by the proportion:
Number of boxes of roses with red bows = 1,567 * 1 = 1,567
Therefore, Adam would have to order 1,567 boxes of roses with red bows if he were to sell 1,567 total boxes of flowers.
