During a basketball game, Kathy took 20 shots. If she made 11 baskets, what percent of all her shots did she make?

To determine the percentage of shots Kathy made, use the formula for percentage:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of baskets made}}{\text{Total number of shots}} \right) \times 100
\]

In this case, Kathy made 11 baskets out of 20 shots:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{11}{20} \right) \times 100 = 0.55 \times 100 = 55\%
\]

Kathy made **55%** of her shots.
