Question

seventy - five percent of the flowers in the arrangement are roses and the rest are tulips. of the tulips, 50 percent are pink.
to the nearest whole percent, what is the probability that a randomly chosen flower from the arrangement is a pink tulip?
13%
38%
50%
67%

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the percentage of tulips

Since 75% are roses, the percentage of tulips is \(100\% - 75\%=25\%\).

Step2: Calculate the percentage of pink tulips

Of the tulips (25%), 50% are pink. So the percentage of pink tulips is \(25\%\times50\%=\frac{25}{100}\times\frac{50}{100}=\frac{1250}{10000} = 12.5\%\approx13\%\)

Answer:

13%
