Answer 1

A village loses 14% of its goats in a flood

6% of the remainder die from dieseses

The 80%(100-14-6) goats are left in.

But, given that 8084 goats are left .

Let, x be the original number of goats in the village.

hence,

80% - 8084

100% - x

`\sf{x = (8084 * 100)/(80) =10105 }`

•°•The original number of goats in the village is 10105.

hope it helps :)

Answer 2

The original number of goats in the village is 6467.

Explanation:

First Sum of the given percentage

i.e.,

14% + 6% = 20%

Now, The 20% of the given no. of goat is,

8084 × 20/100 = 1616

Now,

8084 - 1616 = 6467

Thus, The original number of goats in the village is 6467.
