12 painters were tasked with painting the interior. These painters made up 80% of the painting crew, so how many painters in all worked on this job?

15 painters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of painters be A

To get the number of painters, it'll be 80% of A = 12

That's

80% / 100% x A = 12

0.8 x A = 12

Divide both sides by 0.8

A = 12/0.8

A = 15

A total of 15 painters worked on the job

Answer:i think it's 15
