Question

Jason went to his local zoo that featured 38 reptile exhibits. If these reptile exhibits make up 95% of the zoo's exhibits, then how .any exhibits does the zoo have in total

Answer 1

Answer:

40 exhibits

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will what we have gotten into fractions.

There are 38 reptile exhibits, but we dont know how much exhibits there is total, so we will make the total x: 38/x

We know that a percent is out of 100, so our fraction for the percent is 95/100

Now we are going to cross multiply 38/x and 95/100

38 * 100 = 3800

x * 95 = 95x, so 3800 = 95x

Divide both sides by 95 and you get 40.
