Q. Last night, the two dinner specials at Avery's favorite restaurant were salmon filet and steak. The restaurant served

20

specials in all,

90\%

of which were salmon filets. How many salmon filets did the restaurant serve?

\newline

\_\_\_\_

salmon filets

Identify Total Specials: Step $1$ : Identify total number of specials served and the percentage that were salmon filets. $\newline$ Total specials served = $20$ $\newline$ Percentage of salmon filets = $90\%$
Calculate Number of Salmon: Step $2$ : Calculate the number of salmon filets served using the percentage. $\newline$ Number of salmon filets $= (\text{Total specials served}) \times (\text{Percentage of salmon filets})$ $\newline$ Number of salmon filets $= 20 \times 90\% = 18$
