Absolutely, let's go through the steps to calculate the percent abundance of peanuts in the bowl.
1. First, find the total number of nuts in the bowl.
- You have 65 peanuts and 45 almonds.
- To find the total number of nuts, simply add the number of peanuts and almonds together:
[tex]\[
\text{Total number of nuts} = \text{Number of peanuts} + \text{Number of almonds}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Total number of nuts} = 65 + 45 = 110
\][/tex]
2. Next, calculate the percent abundance of peanuts.
- Percent abundance is the ratio of the number of peanuts to the total number of nuts, multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.
- The formula for percent abundance is:
[tex]\[
\text{Percent abundance of peanuts} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of peanuts}}{\text{Total number of nuts}}\right) \times 100
\][/tex]
3. Substitute the values into the formula and carry out the calculation:
[tex]\[
\text{Percent abundance of peanuts} = \left(\frac{65}{110}\right) \times 100
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Percent abundance of peanuts} = 0.59090909090909 \times 100
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Percent abundance of peanuts} \approx 59.09\%
\][/tex]
Therefore, the percent abundance of peanuts in the bowl is approximately 59.09%.
