Question

farmer has 245 female goats. This year all but 9 of them have had kids. None of them have had more than two kids. 357 kids have been born in total. How many of the goats have had one kid only​

Answer 1

Answer:

115

Step-by-step explanation:

So obviously 236 have had kids. With 357 total, we've got another 121 unaccounted for. That means 121 goats had 2 kids, so therefore 236 - 121 = 115 had just 1 kid.

Answer 2

Answer:

115

Step-by-step explanation:

So the farmer has 245 goats. 245-9=236 meaning 236 of them had 1 or 2 kids. 357-236=121 leaving 121 goats unaccounted for. 121 goats had 2 kids. 236-121=115, meaning 115 goats had one kid only.
