4 products are being purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Time taken to select each product = 5 seconds

Time taken to complete check out process = 60 seconds

Total time taken for a transaction = 80 seconds

Let,

x be the number of products purchased.

Time taken for each product*Number of product + Time for check out process = total process

$5x+60=80\\5x=80-60\\5x=20$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{20}{5}\\x=4$

4 products are being purchased.
