Set up equation: Step 1: Set up the equation to find the percentage of single-shot espressos.We know the total number of espressos sold is 90, and the number of single-shot espressos is 27. We use the formula:Percentage = (Part/Whole)×100Here, Part = 27 (single-shot espressos), Whole = 90 (total espressos).
Calculate percentage: Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula and calculate the percentage.Percentage = (27/90)×100Percentage = 0.3×100Percentage = 30%
