Question

Joline collects hockey cards.
She needs 5 cards to complete a set.
This is 20% of a set.
How many cards are in the set?
Justify your answer.

Answer 1

To find out how many cards are in the set, we first need to determine how many cards make up 100% of the set.

If 5 cards is 20% of the set, we need to find out what 100% of the set is by dividing the number of cards by 20%:

5 cards / 0.20 = 25 cards

Therefore, there are 25 cards in the set.
