Answer:
d. 325
If 20 percent of the animals are amphibians and yiu are trying to find the total amound of numbers in the zoo you first have to realize that 20% is equal to 1/5. Then since you are trying to find the total and not decrease the number, you get the reciprical of 1\5, which is 5/1 and multiply it by 65/1 . 5 × 65 equals 325.
