Answer 1

So, there are 30 hors d’oeuvres in total and 6 grilled shrimp kabobs, this is how you solve:

Step 1-
Since there are 30 hors d’oeuvres in total and 6 of them are grilled shrimp kabobs, the fraction is 6/30

Step 2-
Now we turn the fraction into a decimal by dividing 6 by 30 which is 0.20

Step 3-
From there, turn your decimal into a percent so, 0.20 to a percent is 20% because, common sense

Step 4-
20% of the hors d’oeuvres are grilled shrimp kabobs.
