To find the total number of animals at the pet shop, we need to determine what percentage of the animals are represented by 12 rabbits.
Since 25% of the animals are rabbits, we can set up the equation:
(25/100) * Total number of animals = 12 rabbits
Simplifying the equation:
0.25 * Total number of animals = 12
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.25:
Total number of animals = 12 / 0.25 = 48
Therefore, there are 48 animals altogether at the pet shop.
