Question
25% of the animals at a pet shop are rabbits. If there are 12 rabbits at the shop, then how many animals are there altogether?(1 point)
Responses
To find out how many animals are there altogether, we need to calculate the total number of animals in the pet shop. Since 25% of the animals are rabbits and there are 12 rabbits, we can set up the following equation:
0.25x = 12
Solving for x:
x = 12 / 0.25
x = 48
Therefore, there are 48 animals altogether in the pet shop.
