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

Answer:

$50$ penguins

Step-by-step 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)

$0.24p=12$

$p=12\div0.24$

$p=50$

∴ There are $50$ penguins at the zoo
