Q. Anastasia is grocery shopping with her father and wonders how much shopping is left to do.

Understand Percentage Relationship: Understand the relationship between the percentage and the total number of items. $\newline$ Anastasia's father says they have $60\%$ of the items on their list, which means that the $12$ items in the cart represent $60\%$ of the total number of items on the list.
Set Up Equation: Set up the equation to find the total number of items on the list. Let the total number of items on the list be represented by $x$ . According to the percentage formula (Part = Percent $\times$ Whole), we have: $12 = 0.60 \times x$
Solve for Total: Solve for $x$ to find the total number of items on the list. $\newline$ Divide both sides of the equation by $0.60$ to isolate $x$ : $\newline$ $x = \frac{12}{0.60}$
Perform Division: Perform the division to calculate the total number of items. $x = \frac{12}{0.60}$ $x = 20$
Verify Solution: Verify that the solution makes sense. $\newline$ If there are $20$ items on the list and they have $12$ items in the cart, then $12$ is indeed $60\%$ of $20$ , which confirms that the calculation is correct.
