Question

e)). Half of a herd of deer are grazing in the field
and three fourths of the remaining are playing nearby.
The rest 9 are drinking water from the pond. Find
the number of deer in the herd.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let total number of deers = x

no. of deers grazing in field = x/2

no. of deers playing = x/2 mulityply by 3/4 = 3x/8

no. of deers drinking water = 9

according to question -

x = x/2 + 3x/8 + 9

x - x/2 -3x/8 = 9

x/8 = 9

x = 9X8

x = 72

so number of deers in herd is 72
