Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the percentage of tulips

Since 75% are roses, the percentage of tulips is $100 - 75=25\%$.

Step2: Calculate the percentage of pink tulips

50% of the tulips are pink. So the percentage of pink tulips in the whole - flower arrangement is $0.5\times25 = 12.5\%$.

Step3: Round to the nearest whole percent

Rounding 12.5% to the nearest whole percent gives 13%.

Answer:
