Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, more than 1400 bulb species occur among the fynbos, of which 96 are Gladiolus and 54 Lachenalia, and more than 8500 fynbos species,
let the number of fynbos species = 8500
number of bulb species among the fynbos =1400
Percentage of the total number of fynbos species that are bulbous herbs =
*100
=16.5 %
Therefore the percentage of the total number of fynbos species that are bulbous herbs = 16.5%
