Question

There are 60 calico cats at the animal shelter if this represents 30% of the cats in the shelter how many total cats are there

Answer 1

Answer: 200 cats in total

Explanation:

60 calico cats represents 30% of the total cat population in the shelter.

That means that if we find 30% of the total number of cats, the number we will get is 60.

Assuming the total is x, representing this in equation form makes it:

x * 30% = 60

x = 60 / 30%

x = 200 cats in total
