Answer: [tex]18.2\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The number of silver birch trees = 420
The number of oak trees = 160
The number of wild cherry trees =300
The total number of trees = [tex]420+160+300=880[/tex]
Now, the percentage of oak trees :-
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of oak trees}}{\text{Total trees}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{160}{880}\times100=18.1818181818\approx18.2\%[/tex]
Hence, the percentage of oak trees [tex]=18.2\%[/tex]
