About eighty five percent of the population is heterozygous for the dominant grey tail color trait. (Decimal form 0.85)

I took 15,000 divided by 12750

Next I took my answer (1.1764705882352941176470588235294‬ or 1.17 --> 1.18 (rounded up)) and divided 100 by that number. You would get ‭85.000000000000000000000000000001‬ or 85..

85%
