Since the bag contains 15 green, 18 yellow, and 16 orange balls, the total number of balls in the bag are 15+18+16=49.

Therefore, the probability of the event that the drawn ball is yellow is given by:

P(yellow)= $\frac{Number of Yellow Balls}{Total Number of Balls}$

$\therefore P(Yellow)=\frac{18}{49}\times 100\approx36.73\approx37$ %

Thus, the the probability of the event, to the nearest percent, that the drawn ball is yellow is 37%.
