To find out how many animals there are altogether, we need to first find out what percentage of the animals the rabbits represent in the pet shop.
If 25% of the animals are rabbits, and there are 12 rabbits, then we can set up the following proportion:
25/100 = 12/x
Cross multiplying, we get:
25x = 100*12
25x = 1200
x = 1200/25
x = 48
Therefore, there are a total of 48 animals in the pet shop.
