Last night, the two dinner specials at Bob's favorite restaurant were salmon filet and filet mignon. The restaurant served 70 specials in all, 80% of which were salmon filets. How many salmon filets did the restaurant serve?

Hey!

You have to find 80% of 70. First change 80% to a decimal and multiply by 70.

To change percents to decimals, remove the % sign and move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

[tex] 80 \% \rightarrow 0.8 [/tex]

Now multiply

[tex] 0.8 \times 70 = 56 [/tex]

The restaurant sold 56 salmon fillets.

Good luck and hope this helps! :)
