Question

3) A farm has sheep and goats. If there are 63 sheep and they comprise(15% of all animals, find:
(i) the number of goats
(ii) the total number of animals.​

Answer 1

Answer:

number of sheeps= 63

let total number of animals be x

According to given condition

15/100 * x= 63

x= 420 animals

therefore total number of animals are 420

number of goats= total number of animals- number of sheep

therefore total number of goats are 420-63

= 357 sheep

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: total no. of animals = 420 and goats are 357

Step-by-step explanation:

Now....as sheeps are 15% of the total no. of animals, then 15/100 = 63/x and, as we want to find this x.....just inverse the equation at both ends as 100/15 = x/63 now....... with cross multiplication, x = 100/15*63 which calculates as 420.

You can cross check the answer calculating 15% of 420 as 420*15/100 which equals to 63.

Now, the no. of goats are total no. Of animals - no. of sheeps = 357.
