15A.)

1814 total trees

15B.)

Fir: 31.256890849%

Pine: 17.861080485%

Larch: 8.599779492%

Cedar: 4.906284454%

Hemlock: 37.375964718%

Explanation:

15A.) For this first part, you would add all the trees together to get the total:

567+324+156+89+678 = ?

891+156+89+678 - Add 567 and 324 together.

1047+89+678 - Add 891 and 156 together.

1136+678 - Add 1136 and 678 together.

=1814 total trees

15B.) For this second part, you would divide each tree type (567, 324, 156, 89, 678) by the total trees (1814). To convert the decimal to a percent, you would move the decimal point to places to the right. Not sure how many decimal places you wanted for each percent, so I gave the full decimal for you to round as you please on your answer.

Fir: 567/1814 = 0.31256890849 = 31.256890849%

Pine: 324/1814 = 0.17861080485 = 17.861080485%

Larch: 156/1814 = 0.08599779492 = 8.599779492%

Cedar: 89/1814 = 0.04906284454 = 4.906284454%

Hemlock: 678/1814 = 0.37375964718 = 37.375964718%

Answer 2

see below

Explanation:

The total number of trees is

567+324+156+89+678 =1814

Percent fir = 567/1814 = .312568908=31.26 %

Percent pine = 324/1814 = .178610805=17.86%

Percent larch = 156/1814 =.085997795=8.60%

percent cedar = 89/1814 =.049062845=4.91%

Percent hemlock = 678/1814 = .373759647=37.38%

The total should be 100 %

31.26+17.86+8.60+4.91+37.38=100.01 ( rounding error because we rounded to the hundredths place)
