2) Jessica is selling girl scout cookies and recorded how many she sold in one afternoon. She sold Thin Mints, Trefoils, and Samoas.

a) She sold 54 boxes of Thin Mints, which was 60% of the total
number she sold. How many total boxes did she sell?

90.

Step-by-step explanation: According to the question above, 54 Thin Mints cookies were 60% of the total amount of cookies she sold in one afternoon and the remaining 40% is still missing. 54 / 3 is 18, which is part of our answer, because if 54 is 60%, then 18 is 20%. 18 x 2 is 36, and 36 is 40%. Now that we've found the remaining 40%, the rest is adding 54 and 36, which gives you an answer of 90.
