Percentage of cats
$\frac{# animals}{#cats} = \frac{100}{?}$
$\frac{35}{12}= \frac{100}{?} 
$
**cross multiply 12 and 100 which is 1200
**divide 35 into 1200
the answer is 34.3% when rounded

percentage of snakes
$\frac{# animals}{#snakes} = \frac{100}{?}$

<span>**divide 35 into 300</span>
<span> $\frac{35}{3}= \frac{100}{?}$
</span>the answer is 8.57%
