A farmer grows vegetables on seven acres, fruit on six acres, and flowers on two acres. Out in his fields, he finds a ladybug. To the nearest tenth of a percent, what is the theoretical probability that the ladybug was not found within the acres of flowers?

The farmer’s total field area is 7 + 6 + 2 = 15 acres. The area that is not planted with flowers is 7 + 6 = 13 acres, so the probability is 13/15 ≈ 0.8667, or 86.7% to the nearest tenth. The correct choice is 86.7 percent.
