Let's go through the process to find the percent abundance of the cannellini beans in this sample.
1. Determine the total number of beans:
- There are [tex]\(187\)[/tex] black-eyed peas.
- There are [tex]\(113\)[/tex] cannellini beans.
- The total number of beans is the sum of these two quantities:
[tex]\[
187 + 113 = 300
\][/tex]
2. Calculate the percent abundance of the cannellini beans:
The percent abundance is given by the ratio of the number of cannellini beans to the total number of beans, multiplied by [tex]\(100\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{\text{Number of cannellini beans}}{\text{Total number of beans}} \times 100
\][/tex]
Substituting in the numbers:
[tex]\[
\frac{113}{300} \times 100 \approx 37.67 \%
\][/tex]
Therefore, the percent abundance of the cannellini beans in this sample is approximately [tex]\(37.67\%\)[/tex].
