Answer:

42.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the percentage of the applications from small businesses, the first step is to find the total number of applications received from all the firms

total number of awards = 23 + 18 + 30

                                      =71 awards

percentage of applications from small businesses = [tex]\frac{30}{71}[/tex] × 100

                                                                                  =42.2535

                                                                                ≈42.3% to 1 decimal place

42.3% of the applications came from small businesses
