Answer:
44
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no. of pigeons purchased by the man be X
Percentage of pigeons flew =20%
Percentage of pigeons died =5%
Total percentage of lost pigeons =20+5
=25%
No. of pigeons the man left with = 33
No. of pigeons the man left with
= total no. of pigeons - pigeons lost
33=X - 25/100*X
33= X - X/4
33=4x-x/4
33=3x/4
33×4=3x
132=3x
X=132/3
X=44
Therefore, No. of pigeons the man purchased is 44
