Answer: 98%
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the percentage of perennial flowers, divide the number of perennial flowers by the total number of flowers and then multiply by 100 to express the result as a percentage.
Percentage of perennial flowers = (Number of perennial flowers / Total number of flowers) * 100
In this case:
Number of perennial flowers = 98
Total number of flowers = 98 (perennial) + 2 (annual) = 100
Percentage of perennial flowers = (98 / 100) * 100 = 98%
So, 98% of the flowers observed were perennials.
