Question

A farmer has some sheep. 35% are black and 13 are white. How many sheep altogether does he have?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 sheeps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total no. of sheeps be x

Acc. to question

Black sheep=35% of x

=35x/100

White sheep=13

So,

Black sheep+ White sheep= total sheep= x

Therefore,

35x/100 + 13= x

35x+13= 100x

13=100x-35x

13=65x

x= 65/13=5

Hence, the farmer has 5 sheeps
