Question

Mr.Jones has 160 animal on his Farm.Of these animals,20% are cows,30% are goats ,10% are horses, and the rest are chickens how many chickens are on Mr.Jones farm?

Answer 1

64 chickens

Explanation:

Let the total percentage of animals be represented as = 100%

100% = 20% + 30% + 10% + % Chicken

% Chicken = 100% - ( 20% + 30% + 10% )

% Chicken = 100% - 60%

% Chicken = 40%

The number of animals on the farm = 160

The number of chickens on the farm = 40% × 160

= 40/100 × 160

= 64 chickens
