How can I solve this task?: Add CSS that will allow all images to fill their parent element.

I have tried almost everything to solve this task but i couldn't find a way to solve it. A helping hand will be more than welcome :)

css/main.css 
img {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0%;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

You want to set the max widths of the images to 100%.

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

This will force them to be the width of the parent, so if it's in an li and the li is 300px, the image will also be 300px.
