If 25% of the animals are rabbits and there are 12 rabbits, then we can calculate the total number of animals by setting up the following proportion: 25% is to 12 as 100% (total) is to x.
25/100 = 12/x
Cross multiplying:
25x = 1200
Dividing both sides by 25:
x = 48
Therefore, there are 48 animals in total at the pet shop.
