We can use the percent formula to solve. The percent formula is below: ^part⁄_whole = ^%⁄₁₀₀ We are given the part (the 13 items already collected) and are asked to find the whole (x): ¹³⁄_x = ²⁰⁄₁₀₀ Cross multiply and solve for x: 20 * x = 13 * 100 20x = 1300 20x/20 = 1300/20 x = 65 So, 13 is 20% of 65
