Define a variable ** Let x = the number of stuffed goats.
How many stuffed animals does Bubbles have? ** The current number of stuffed animals are (puppies + koalas + zebras + frogs) or 3 + 5 + 2 + 4 = <<3+5+2+4=14>>14 stuffed animals total.
How many stuffed goats should Bubbles buy? ** Take the total stuffed animals, add x and divide by the number of stuffed goats to get to 30% or x / (14 + x) = .3
How many stuffed goats should Bubbles buy? ** Cross multiply to get x = 0.42 + .3x
Simplify ** Subtract .3 x from each side, .7x = 0.42
How many goats does Bubbles need? ** Bubbles needs x = <<6=6>>6 goats added.
