Question

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 a	state b	state c	state d	state e	total
percent of total (rounded to nearest percent)	14%	14%	14%	28%
		77/539≈14%

(round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for percentage

The formula to find the percentage of a part in relation to the whole is $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Total}}\times100\%$. Here, the total number of pounds of blue - berries produced by all states is 539 million pounds, and the number of pounds produced by State E is 160 million pounds.

Step2: Calculate the percentage for State E

Substitute the values into the formula: $\text{Percentage of State E}=\frac{160}{539}\times 100\%$.
$\frac{160}{539}\approx0.297$, and $0.297\times100\% = 29.7\%$. Rounding to the nearest whole percent, we get 30%.

Answer:

30%
