Question

Benny went to his local zoo that featured 11 reptile exhibits. if these reptiles exhibits make up 55% of the zoo's exhibits, then how many exhibit does the zoo have in total?​

Answer 1

Answer: 20 exhibits

Explanation:

If 11 is 55%, we need to find 100%. We will set up a proportion and solve. Percents are on the bottom, exhibits are on the top.

`(11)/(55)` =
`(x)/(100)`

Cross multiply:

1,100 = 55x

Divide:

20 = x

There are 20 exhibits in total.
