Question

There are 8 hamsters at Crazy Pete's Pet Shop that are completely brown. The rest of the hamsters at the shop are mixed colors. The 8 brown hamsters represent 25 of the total number of hamsters at the pet shop.
Write and solve an equation, using the variable h, to find the total number of hamsters at the pet shop

Answer 1

If you mean 25% of the total hamsters then the answer is simple 100 divided by 25 equals 4 so you would multiply 4 times 8 to get your answer of 32. I hope that helps.
