Answer:
Let the no. of parrots Chandani purchased be 'x'.
Percentage of parrots flew away = 20%
No. of parrots flew away = 20x/100 = x/5
Percentage of parrots died = 5%
No. of parrots died = 5x/100 = x/20
No. of parrots remaining = x-(25x/100) = x-(x/4) = 3x/4
Percentage of parrots sold from the remaining = 45%
No. of parrots sold = (45/100)×(3x/4) = 27x/80
No. of parrots remaining= (3x/4) -(27x/80)=(60x-27x)/80=33x/80
Given, no. of parrots remaining = 33
So,
33x/80=33
then, x = 33×80/33
then, x = 80
Ans: Chandani purchased 80 parrots.
