In one day, a store sells 14 pairs of jeans. The 14 jeans represent 20% of the total number of items sold that day. How many items did the store sell in one day? Explain or show how you got your answer.
14 = 20%s where s is the number of items sold in one day.
We can write 20% as 0.2, so we have:
0.2s = 14
Type this equation into the search engine, and we get:
s = 70
14 = 20%s where s is the number of items sold in one day.
We can write 20% as 0.2, so we have:
0.2s = 14
Type this equation into the search engine, and we get:
s = 70
