AnswEr :
- Village Lost 25% Cattle due to shortage of fodder and water, and 5% because of Disease.
- 5600 Cattle left in Village.
⋆ Let the Cattle in the Beginning be x.
• According to the Question :
⇒ Total × Left in Village = 5600
⇒ x × [100 - (25 + 5)]% = 5600
⇒ x × (100 - 30)% = 5600
⇒ x × 70% = 5600
⇒ x × 70 /100 = 5600
⇒ x = (5600 × 100) /70
⇒ x = (80 × 100)
⇒ x = 8000
჻ There were 8000 cattle in the beginning.
