Question

Michelle did a survey in four butterfly parks and wrote the following observations: Butterfly Park Survey Park Number of Red Butterflies Total Number of Butterflies A 33 60 B 36 78 C 40 89 D 24 59 Based on the survey, which park had the greatest percentage of red butterflies?

Answer 1

What you can do to find out the answer is to first, add the two numbers in each category, so A would be 93, B would be 114, C would be 129 and D would be 83. Then all you would do is add the percent at the end and you would get the percents, since it is asking for the greatest percent, it would be C 129%

Answer 2

Alright, First we should make these into fractions,

A. 33/60

B. 36/78

C. 40/89

D. 24/59

Ok so these are the fractions, The question wants us to pick the Park with the Greatest Percentage, Not The Greatest Amount, so Lets look at these fractions A. 33/60 Is 55%   B. 36/78 is  46% .   C. 40/89 is 44%   D. 24/59 is about 40%

Now that we know The Percents just pick the biggest one Therefore, your Answer would Be A. 55%
