A VIOLET FLOWERS = 0.55 WHITE FLOWERS = 0.45
B VIOLET FLOWERS = 0.62 WHITE FLOWERS = 0.38
C VIOLET FLOWERS = 0.3 WHITE FLOWERS = 0.7
I THINK ITS C

The first thing to do is figure out the frequency of the white and violet flowers. You have 200 total, so:
white = number white / number total
violet = (number total - number white) / number total
Get your data into a form where you can start using the Castle Hardy Wienburg relations on it...
