Answer: 1152

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

6/150 = 0.04 = 4% of the population are albino.

That leaves 100% - 4% = 96% that aren't albino.

96% of 1200 = 0.96*1200 = 1152

------------

Another way to look at it:

4% of the population are albino, so there are 0.04*1200 = 48 albino tigers.

This means there are 1200-48 = 1152 non-albino tigers.
