When a runner was crossing the 12 km mark, she was informed that she had completed only 80% of the race. How many kilometres was the runner supposed to run in this event?
14
15

16.5
Answer is (b). This can be solved mentally. 12 km is 8/10 = 4/5 of the whole race. So whole race must be 15 km. In this question 12 km is 80% of the total race. => 12 km = 0.8 R => R = 12 / 0.8 = 15. So total race will be of 15 km.
