It would be 70 items sold that day. 20% is equal to one fifth. One way is to divide 14 by 20% (.20). the other way is to multiply 14 by 5, because to get a whole fraction you gotta multiply by 5, because 20% is equal to 1/5. Im sorry if this is confusing but this is how my brain figured it out

It would be 70 items sold if you do the math it is really easy
