Part, percent, or whole

Question

Dan is watching the birds in his backyard. He figures out that 2, or 25%, of the birds are robins. Does Dan need to find the part, whole, or percent?

Answer 1

the whole is what Dan needs to find

2 is 25% of what number ?

2=25%*x (x is the total number of birds)

2=(25/100)*x

2=(1/4)*x

4*2=4*(1/4)*x

8=x

there are 8 birds
