Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

120 divided by 100 is one percent to find 20 percent you multply by 20 wich equals 24

Answer:

24 Lions

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 120 animals in the park, first figure out how many zebra there are. 120/2 = 60.

So we know that there are 60 zebras and 60 unknown animals left. Then again if we multiply 20% or 0.20 by 120, we get 24 for the lions. Then if we want to figure out tigers, we just add 60+24 which equals 84, then the remainder of the animals left are tigers.

So in conclusion...

60 zebras, 24 lions, 36 tigers.

Hope this helped :)
