Anastasia is grocery shopping with her father and wonders how much shopping is left to do we already have 60% of items on our list her father says Anastasia sees 12 items in the cart how many grocery items are on the list
If there are x items, then
0.60x = 12
Now solve for x
To find out the total number of grocery items on the list, we can use the concept of percentages.
If Anastasia has already completed 60% of the shopping and there are 12 items in the cart, we can express this as an equation:
60% of total items = 12
To find the total number of items, we divide both sides of the equation by 60% (or 0.60):
total items = 12 / 0.60 = 20
Therefore, there are 20 grocery items on the list.
To find out how many grocery items are on the list, we can use the information given.
We know that Anastasia and her father already have 60% of the items on the list and there are 12 items in the cart.
Let's represent the total number of items on the list as "x".
Since they already have 60% of the items, this means that 60% of x is equal to 12.
We can write this as an equation:
0.6x = 12
To find the value of x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.6:
x = 12 / 0.6
Simplifying, we have:
x = 20
Therefore, there are 20 grocery items on the list.
