Question

There are 98 flowers in the bride's bouquet. If 25 of the flowers are roses, approximately what percent of the flowers in the bouquet are not roses?

Answer 1

Approximately `75%` are not roses.

Explanation:

This question is an exercise in approximation.

`98` flowers are approximately `100` flowers.

If `25` are roses then approximately `25%` are roses
and `75%` are not roses.

Note that treating the given numbers as exact values results in at least one flower being partially a rose and partially not a rose.
