Question

6 A farmer has 2 400 sheep. He loses 32 and a half % due to the drought. After that he loses 15% due to sickness. How many sheep does he have now?​

Answer 1

Answer: The farmer has 1377 sheeps.

Explanation:

Farmer loses sheeps due to drought = 32½% of 2400

32½% of 2400

= 65 × 2400 × 1

2100

After cutting it will be,

65×12

=780

Number of sheeps that are left with him = 2400 - 780

=1620

After that,

The farmer loses due to sickness = 15% of 1620

15% of 1620

= 15 × 1620

100

After cutting it will be,

3 × 81

= 243

Total amount of sheeps that the farmer loses = 780 + 243

= 1023

Now the number of sheeps he has is 2400-1023

= 1377
