Question

Jason went to his local zoo where 20% of it's exhibits featured canines. If the zoo features 25 exhibits in total, then how many of the zoo's exhibits feature canines? Round your answer to the nearest whole number if necessary. _____________

Answer 1

`(25)/(100)=(x)/(20)`

And if we solve for the value of x we got:

`x = 20* (25)/(100)=5`

So then we can conclude that the number of canines is 5 for this case

Explanation:

For this case we know that the total number of canines is 25 and 20% represent the canines so we can apply the following proportional rule:

`(25)/(100)=(x)/(20)`

And if we solve for the value of x we got:

`x = 20* (25)/(100)=5`

So then we can conclude that the number of canines is 5 for this case
