Question

elenas daughter sold 69 boxes of girl scout cookies..........she was told that the amount represented 20% of the troops sale....how many boxes did the troop sell??

Answer 1

this problem can be translated as
"69 is 20% of what number?"
then we turn it in to math by
\[69=.2\times x\] and solve for \(x\) via \[x=69\div.2\]
