Question

You sold 15 boxes of paper. You had a goal to sell X. 15 boxes is 20% of my goal. What is X.

Please provide answer and working explanation.

Answer 1

X is 75 boxes of paper. 20% is 1/5 of the goal because 5 20% make 100. Thus if 15 boxes is 20% if you multiply it by 5, you'll get 100% which is 75 boxes of paper.
