Question

The zoo has 12 Emperor penguins, which makes up 24% of all penguins at the zoo. How many penguins live at the zoo?​

Answer 1

`50` penguins

Explanation:

Let
`p` = number of penguins at the zoo

`24\%p=12` (Is given that 12 Emperor penguins at the zoo make up 24% of total penguins)

`0.24p=12`

`p=12/0.24`

`p=50`

∴ There are
`50` penguins at the zoo

Hope this helps :)
