here is the question:
For another of her ventures, Ms.Expenditure has a goal of selling 4 items per 10 customers.

-Suppose that 12 out of the first 40 customers purchase and item. How many more customers would have to enter the store to reach the 40% sales goal if 1 out of 2 of these customers purchases an item?

-Suppose that the goal is to reach a 50% sales rate and that 16 out the first 48 customers purchase an item. How many total customers would be required if 3 out of every 5 of the future customers purchased an item?

Please tell me how to solve the equation!

purchase and item - what does that mean?

Where is the equation?
