Question
In one year, a farmer runs 30 000 sheep on his property. In the next year, because of the drought, the farmer reduces his flock by 37%.The number of sheep he has after the fall in numbers is:
Solution
To find out how many sheep the farmer has after the drought, we need to calculate 37% of 30,000 and then subtract that number from 30,000.
Step 1: Calculate 37% of 30,000 37/100 * 30,000 = 11,100
Step 2: Subtract that number from the original number of sheep 30,000 - 11,100 = 18,900
So, after the drought, the farmer has 18,900 sheep.
