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 :

so the 12 items are 60%, how much is one item? one item is 60/12=[tex] \frac{60}{12} = \frac{10}{2}=5 [/tex]

one item was 5%. 

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

so there were 20 items to begin with.
