To predict how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would have to order, we need to determine the proportion of students who chose roses with red bows out of the total number of students surveyed.
Total number of students who chose roses with a red bow: 15
Total number of students surveyed: 15 + 12 + 5 = 32
Proportion of students who chose roses with a red bow: 15/32 ≈ 0.46875
Total number of boxes of flowers to be sold: 1,567
Number of boxes of roses with red bows to order: 0.46875 * 1567 ≈ 735
Therefore, Adam would have to order approximately 735 boxes of roses with red bows if he were to sell a total of 1,567 boxes of flowers.

Adam conducted a survey of his fellow students to determine which flowers they would buy with which kind of bow. He created the table to show the results of the experiment.
Predict how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would have to order if he were to sell 1,567 total boxes of flowers. Round to the nearest whole number.
