Answer:

[tex]50[/tex] penguins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]p[/tex] = number of penguins at the zoo

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

[tex]0.24p=12[/tex]

[tex]p=12\div0.24[/tex]

[tex]p=50[/tex]

∴ There are [tex]50[/tex] penguins at the zoo

Hope this helps :)
