Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total no.of deer = x

half of herd =x/2

3/4 of remaining half herd =(x/2)(3/4)

                                         =3x/8

remaining deer=9

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

x=(4x+3x+72)/8

8x=7x+72

8x-7x=72

x=72

∴total no.of deers are 72.

Answer:

Total number of Sheep = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of deers in the herd = X

No. of deers grazing in the field = X/2

No. of deers playing nearby = 3/4 of X/2

                                           = (3/4)(X/2)

                                           = 3 X / 8

No. of deers drinking water from nearby pond = 9

According to the question,

9 + X/2 + 3 X / 8 = X

9 + 4 X/8 +3 X/8 = X

9 + 7 X/8 = X

9 = X - 7 X/8

9 = 8 X/8 - 7 X/8

9 = X/8

X = 8×9

X = 72

Total number of Sheep = 72
