percentage of cats
\(\frac{# animals}{#cats} = \frac{100}{?}\)
\(\frac{35}{12}= \frac{100}{?}\)
cross multiply 12 and 100 which is 1200
divide 35 into 1200
the answer is 34.3% when rounded

percentage of snakes
\(\frac{# animals}{#snakes} = \frac{100}{?}\)
cross multiply 3 and 100 which is 300
divide 35 into 300
\(\frac{35}{3}= \frac{100}{?}\)
the answer is 8.57%
