Can u please answer the percentages questions. THIS IS URGENT

1) A sheep station has 1872 merino sheep. This is 36% of all sheep on the station. How many sheep are there on the station?

2) $52000 was invested at 5% ( simple interest) for a number of years and the interest received at the end of the term was $15600. What was the term of the investment?

Answer 1

1) let total sheep be x

36%of x =1872

36x/100 =1872

x = 5200 sheeps

2) S.I = (p×r×t)/100

15600=( 52000×5×n)/100

= 1560 = 52×5×n

30 /5= n

n = 6
