A 1200
B 300
C 1800
D 900

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

1500 goats represent 100%

but 100% = 5*20%

1500 = 5*300 so 20% =300

a decrease by 20% is 1500-300 = 1200

Answer 2

Answer:

B 300

Explanation:

20%/100 = ?/1500

Multiply 1500 by 20

1500 x 20 = 30000

30000 divided by 100 = 300

Therefore, 20% of 1500 goats in 300
