Question

A volunteer at the zoo is responsible for feeding the animals in 15 exhibits in the reptile house. This is 20% of the total exhibits in the reptile house. How many exhibits are in the reptile house?

Answer 1

Set up an algebra equation. Let x equal the total number of exhibits. We know that 20% of this number equals 15. Can you set up the equation that needs to be solved from here?

Answer 2

Emm, so can it be \[\frac{ 20 }{ 100 }=\frac{ 15 }{ x }\]
