We can set up a proportion to solve this problem. Let x represent the total number of animals at the pet shop.
25% of x = 12
0.25x = 12
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.25:
x = 12 / 0.25
x = 48
Therefore, there are 48 animals in total 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?(1 point)
