D.21

Answer 1

To find the total number of ceramic chickens Cam has, divide the number of gift chickens (11) by the percentage they represent (10%) to get 110 chickens in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total number of ceramic chickens Cam has in his collection, we first need to understand that the 11 chickens given to him as gifts represent 10% of the total. Therefore, to find the total number of chickens, we divide the number of gift chickens (11) by the percentage they represent (10%), expressed as a decimal (0.10):

Total number of chickens = Number of gift chickens / Percentage of gift chickens

Total number of chickens = 11 / 0.10

Total number of chickens = 110

So, Cam has a total of 110 ceramic chickens in his collection. The correct answer is Option B.
