Answer:

8 of the 28 horses would be palomino horses

Explanation:

First off, we understand that there are 10 palomino horses and 25 others, meaning there are 35 total.

The question wants to know that if 28 horses came out, how many of them would be palomino horses.

We know that the palomino horses are
(10)/(35)

What we need to know is
(x)/(28)

to find x, we cross multiply


(10)/(35) = (x)/(28)

10 x 28 and 35 x X

280 = 35x

Divide both sides by 35

x = 8

8 of the 28 horses would be palomino horses
