6. At the animal shelter, 40% of the animals are cats. There are 16 cats. How many total animals are at the shelter?​

40% of the animals are cat -> 4/10 of the animals are cats.

So, 16 cats mean 16 is equal to 4/10 of the total animals

-> There are 16 : 40% = 40 animals in the shelter.


Recheck : 40% of 40 = 40 x 2/5 = 16.
