Answer: $18.2\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of silver birch trees = 420

The number of oak trees = 160

The number of wild cherry trees =300

The total number of trees = $420+160+300=880$

Now, the percentage of oak trees :-

$\dfrac{\text{Number of oak trees}}{\text{Total trees}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{160}{880}\times100=18.1818181818\approx18.2\%$

Hence, the percentage of oak trees $=18.2\%$
