Question

Wilfred is feeding his goats. He gives 56% of the bag of feed to the goats in field A and the rest to the goats in field B. If the bag has 21kg of feed, how much do the goats in field A get?

Answer 1

`Feeds = 11.76kg`

Explanation:

Given

`Field\ A= 56\%`

`Field\ B= The\ rest`

`Bag = 21kg\ feed`

Required

Determine how much goats in field A, get.

To do this, we simply multiply the percentage feed received by goats in field A by the actual bags of feeds

i.e.

`Feeds = 56\% * 21kg`

Convert percentage to decimal

`Feeds = 0.56 * 21kg`

`Feeds = 11.76kg`

Hence, goats in field A get 11.76kg of feeds
