Benny went to his local zoo that featured 11 reptile exhibits. if these reptiles exhibits make up 55% of the zoo's exhibits, then how many exhibit does the zoo have in total?​

Respuesta :

Answer: 20 exhibits

Step-by-step explanation:

    If 11 is 55%, we need to find 100%. We will set up a proportion and solve. Percents are on the bottom, exhibits are on the top.

[tex]\frac{11}{55}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

    Cross multiply:

1,100 = 55x

    Divide:

20 = x

    There are 20 exhibits in total.
