1. **State the problem:** We are given the frequency counts of colors from a spinner and need to find the probability that the next spin lands on red, expressed as a percent to the nearest whole number.
2. **Formula:** Probability of an event = \( \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \)\n
3. **Calculate total outcomes:** Sum all frequencies:
$$3 + 2 + 14 + 13 + 7 = 39$$
4. **Calculate probability of red:**
$$P(\text{red}) = \frac{3}{39}$$
5. **Simplify fraction:**
$$\frac{3}{39} = \frac{\cancel{3}^1}{\cancel{3}^{13}} = \frac{1}{13}$$
6. **Convert to percent:**
$$\frac{1}{13} \times 100 = 7.6923\ldots \approx 8\%$$
**Final answer:** The probability that the next spin lands on red is approximately **8%**.
