Question

Jason went to his local zoo where 20% of it's exhibits featured canines. If the zoo features 25 exhibits in total, then how many of the zoo's exhibits feature canines? Round your answer to the nearest whole number if necessary. _____________

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{25}{100}=\frac{x}{20}$

And if we solve for the value of x we got:

$x = 20* \frac{25}{100}=5$

So then we can conclude that the number of canines is 5 for this case

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that the total number of canines is 25 and 20% represent the canines so we can apply the following proportional rule:

$\frac{25}{100}=\frac{x}{20}$

And if we solve for the value of x we got:

$x = 20* \frac{25}{100}=5$

So then we can conclude that the number of canines is 5 for this case
