Let's proceed step by step to fill out the given table.
1. Calculate the food percentage for each flock:
- Flock X:
- Total pieces of food eaten: 123
- Total pieces of food available: 300
- Food percentage for Flock X = [tex]\( \frac{123}{300} \times 100 = 41.0\% \)[/tex]
- Flock Y:
- Total pieces of food eaten: 99
- Total pieces of food available: 300
- Food percentage for Flock Y = [tex]\( \frac{99}{300} \times 100 = 33.0\% \)[/tex]
- Flock Z:
- Food percentage provided directly = 7%
2. Calculate the simulated number of birds for each flock based on the percentage of food they consumed:
- Total number of birds: 30
- Flock X:
- Food percentage: 41.0%
- Simulated number of birds = [tex]\( \frac{41.0}{100} \times 30 = 12.3 \)[/tex]
- Flock Y:
- Food percentage: 33.0%
- Simulated number of birds = [tex]\( \frac{33.0}{100} \times 30 = 9.9 \)[/tex]
Flock Z is not asked for the number of birds in the table, so we will leave it blank.
Based on these calculations, the completed table should be:
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline & Flock X & Flock Y & Flock Z \\
\hline \begin{tabular}{l}
Total Pieces of Food Eaten \\
(from previous page)
\end{tabular} & 123 & 99 & 78 \\
\hline Food Percentage & 41.0\% & 33.0\% & 7\% \\
\hline Simulated Number of Birds & 12.3 & 9.9 & \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
