Answer:

75% purple and 25% white

Explanation:

When a punnett square is drawn to predict the phenotypes of the pea plants offspring:

- only 1 out of the 4 squares gave the result for the offspring to have white flowers (1/4 = 25%)

- 3 out of the 4 squares gave results for the offspring to have purple flowers (3/4 = 75%)
