Let x + 15 = total penguins
15/ (x +15) = .30
15 = .30x + 4.5
.30x = 10.5
x = 35
Total penguins = 15 + 35 = 50
Double Check
15 / 50 * 100 = 30% Correct!!!
Unless I am misreading, the question, or don't know all of it, there can be an infinite number of similar shapes. Three are give to you at the bottom of this answer, but there are many more possibilities.
The answer
the complement of the question is
What is the value of y?
2
5
7

According to the image, HKJ and FGH are similar, we can apply the theorem of thales
since GK and GF are parallels, so
HK / HF = HJ / HG = KJ / GF and as we see on the figure, HK = HF /2, this implies 2HK =HF
HK / 2HK = KJ / GF it is equivalent to 1/2 = 2y+5 / 5y +3
likewise, equivalent to 5y +3 = 4y +10, 5y-4y = 10-3, and y = 7
so the answer is 7
