How many goats did X receive frok Mr. Deena?

Answer 1

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

total goats are 435

goats sold by X are 25

goats sold by Y are 30

and goats sold by Z are 40

so total goats sold will be 25+30+40=95

then total goats remaining will be 435-95=340

let goats left with X be 19a,left with Y be 23a and left with Z be 26a.

so

total goats remaining will be 19a+23a+26a=68a

and these must be equal to 340.

and these must be equal to 340.therefore

and these must be equal to 340.therefore68a=340

and these must be equal to 340.therefore68a=340a=5

hence no.of goats X had initially=(19×5)+25

=95+25=120
