Since 25% of the animals are rabbits, and there are 12 rabbits, this means 12 is 25% of the total number of animals at the pet shop. To find the total number of animals, we can set up a proportion:
12 is to 25 as x is to 100
(12/25) = (x/100)
x = (12*100)/25
x = 48
Therefore, there are 48 animals altogether at the pet shop.
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?
A. 0.84
B. 48
C. 4.8
D. 0.48
