Question

A volunteer at the zoo is responsible for feeding the animals in 15 exhibits in the reptile house. This represents 20% of the total exhibits in the reptile house. How many exhibits are in the reptile house?

Answer 1

75

Explanation:

15 is 20% of the total.

The total is x since it is unknown.

20% of the total = 15

20% of x = 15

0.2x = 15

Multiply both sides by 5.

x = 75
