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. 0.48
2. 48
3. 0.84
4. 4.8

1 answer

Let the total number of animals at the pet shop be x.
25% of x is 12.
Therefore, (25/100) * x = 12.
Dividing both sides of the equation by (25/100) gives x = (12 * 100)/25 = 48.
Therefore, there are 48 animals at the pet shop.
The correct answer is 2. 48.
