1. The problem states that Hulu produces 20% of its own original shows and there are 500 shows available in total. 2. To find the number of original shows, we calculate 20% of 500. 3. Recall that 20% means 20 out of 100, or 0.20 in decimal form. 4. Multiply the total number of shows by 0.20: $$500 \times 0.20 = 100$$ 5. Therefore, Hulu has 100 original shows available.
