To predict how many of the next 18 bouquets sold would be marigold bouquets, we first calculate the proportion of marigold bouquets sold yesterday.
The florist sold a total of 36 bouquets, including 10 marigold bouquets. The proportion of marigold bouquets is:
\[
\text{Proportion of marigold bouquets} = \frac{\text{Number of marigold bouquets}}{\text{Total number of bouquets}} = \frac{10}{36} \approx 0.2778
\]
Now, we can multiply this proportion by the number of bouquets to be sold next (18 bouquets):
\[
\text{Predicted marigold bouquets} = \text{Proportion} \times \text{Next total bouquets} = 0.2778 \times 18 \approx 5
\]
Therefore, the prediction for the number of the next 18 bouquets sold that would be marigold bouquets is approximately 5.
So, the answer is **5**.
