Cam has a collection of ceramic chickens. 10% of the chickens were given to him as gifts, and he bought the rest himself. If 11 chickens were given to him as gifts, how many chickens does he have in total?
A
121
B
110
C
1.1
D
21
We can set up a proportion to find the total number of chickens, x, given that 10% of the chickens were given to him as gifts:
11/x = 10%/100%
Multiplying both sides of the equation by x/100%, we get:
11 = 0.1x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.1, we get:
x = 110
Therefore, Cam has 110 chickens in total.
The correct answer is B. 110
