Question

"We already have 60%, percent of the items on our list," her father says. Anastasia sees 12 items in the cart. How many grocery items are on the list?

Answer 1

60% = 12 items
1% = (12/60)
100% = (12/60)*100
          = 20 items

Answer 2

Answer:

Total items in the list = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total items in the list = x

According to the problem given,

$60\% \:of \: x = 12$

$\implies 60\% \times \:x=12$

$\implies \frac{60}{100}\times x = 12$

$\implies x = 12 \times \frac{100}{60}$

$\implies x = 20$

Therefore,

Total items in the list = 20
