C)Entrées = 32.5 %
Explanation:
Given:
Number of appetisers = 13
Number of entrees = 17
Number of desserts = 10
A. percentage of the dishes he delivered were Desserts
Percentage of Desserts =
![\frac{\text{ Number of dessert}}{\text{ total number of dishes}} * 100](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/eb78wqyzfdfysghn2ksb5s17q0mlu2ncnq.png)
Total number of dishes = 13 + 17 + 10 = 40
Percentage of Desserts =
![(10)/(40) * 100](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/kd08dvfclbrwkxgohpoky6sbwu8zbwjk27.png)
Percentage of Desserts =
![0.25 * 100](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/rq44gtann453czlxjbr44cjwbqon2t75fn.png)
Percentage of Desserts = 25 %
B. percentage of the dishes he delivered were Appetizers
Percentage of Desserts =
