fill in the percent column in the table. there is a worked - out example for state c. top blueberry - producing states in 2020 (in millions of pounds) state state a state b millions of pounds 75 75 percent of total (rounded to nearest percent) % % (round to the nearest whole number as needed) top blueberry - producing states in 2020 (in millions of pounds) state state a state b state c state d state e total millions of pounds 75 75 77 152 160 539 percent of total 77/539 ≈ 14%

Explanation:

Step1: Recall percentage - calculation formula

The formula to find the percentage of a part to the whole is $\text{Percent}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Total}}\times100\%$.

Step2: Calculate percentage for State A

Given that the production of State A is 75 million pounds and the total production of all states is 539 million pounds. Using the formula, $\text{Percent for State A}=\frac{75}{539}\times 100\%$.
$\frac{75}{539}\times100=\frac{7500}{539}\approx13.91\%$. Rounding to the nearest percent, it is 14%.

Step3: Calculate percentage for State B

Since the production of State B is also 75 million pounds and the total is 539 million pounds. Using the formula, $\text{Percent for State B}=\frac{75}{539}\times 100\%$.
$\frac{75}{539}\times100=\frac{7500}{539}\approx13.91\%$. Rounding to the nearest percent, it is 14%.

Answer:

State A: 14%
State B: 14%
