Question

Anastasia is grocery shopping with her father and wonders how much shopping is left to do. "We already have 60%, percent of the items on our list," her father says. Anastasia sees 1 2 items in the cart.

Answer 1

so the 12 items are 60%, how much is one item? one item is 60/12=
`(60)/(12) = (10)/(2)=5`

one item was 5%.

now, how many 5% are there in 100%? 20! (100/5=20)

so there were 20 items to begin with.
