Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

crossing two heterozygous plants would look like this Pp x Pp

making a chart

P p

P PP Pp

p Pp pp

what this means is that the capital P isdminant so thats what will show is the dominant purple petal whereas lower case p is the ressecive white petal

this means 25% of offspring will be white :)
