Let the total number of animals at the pet shop be \( x \).
Given that 25% of the animals are rabbits, we can write the equation:
\[
0.25x = 12
\]
To find \( x \), we can solve the equation by dividing both sides by 0.25:
\[
x = \frac{12}{0.25} = 12 \times 4 = 48
\]
So, the total number of animals at the pet shop is 48.
The correct answer is **48**.
