Q. A biology class examined some flowers in a local meadow. Out of the

72

flowers they saw,

54

were perennials. What percentage of the flowers were perennials?

\newline

Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

\newline

\_\_\_\_\_

Identify total number of flowers: Step $1$ : Identify the total number of flowers and the number of perennial flowers. $\newline$ Total flowers = $72$ $\newline$ Perennial flowers = $54$ $\newline$ We need to find the percentage of perennial flowers.
Calculate percentage of perennial flowers: Step $2$ : Calculate the percentage of perennial flowers. $\newline$ Percentage = $(\frac{\text{Perennial flowers}}{\text{Total flowers}}) \times 100$ $\newline$ Percentage = $(\frac{54}{72}) \times 100$ $\newline$ Percentage = $75\%$ $\newline$ This shows the percentage of flowers that are perennials.
