Question

Farmer brown reported that 40 of his chickens died during the rainy season. If this represented 5% of the total number of chickens, how many chickens did he have originally?

Answer 1

Total chickens = 800

Explanation:

5% = 1/20

so, for total number of chicken we simply multiply 20 with 5% amount of chickens given;

= 40 * 20

= 800
