remainder died of diseases and 5% of
remaining lost if 1365 remain, how
many cattle were there?​

Answer 1

Given: In flood, 10% of cattle drowned 20% of  remainder died of diseases and 5% of  remaining lost if 1365 remain.

To find: How  many cattle were there?​

Solution:

• Let the total number of cattle be x.

• Now we have given that 10% of cattle drowned 20% of  remainder died of diseases and 5% of  remaining lost.
• So total loss of cattle is 35% in total of x.

• That means 65% is still there which is 1365.

• So 65% of x will be:

         (65/100) × x = 1365

         x = ( 1365 x 100 ) / 65

         x = 21 x 100

         x = 2100

Answer:

         So the total cattles were 2100.
