Let the initial number of goats be: 100%
After the first loss: (100–12)= 88%
After the second loss: 5% of 88%; the remaining becomes: 83.6%
Now, 83.6 ——-> 8360 (percentage to number comparison)
then, 1———-> 100 (one percent of goats is about 100 in number)
Therefore: 100% becomes: 100 x 100: 10,000 Goats.

Let goats before flood = x
12%lost: 100–12=88
Remained goats=88x/100
5% lost on remaining: 100–5=95
Remained goat : (88x /100)*95/100
Remained goat (left) =8360
(88x/100)*95/100 = 8360
X =(8360)(100/88)(100/95)
X= 83600000/8360
X = 10000
No. Of goats before flood = 10000
