Challenge: During November, a farmer
bought 350 chickens to add to his current
flock. At the end of the month he sold 90% of
his total flock and he now has 140 chickens.
How many did he have at the beginning of
November?

Respuesta :

Answer:

126

Steps:

1. Turn 90% into a decimal to make your life easier.

Decimal form = 0.90

2. In this math problem “of” means to multiply.

3. Multiply the number of chickens the farmer has leftover (140) by the percentage (90%) of his total flock that he has sold.

4. 140 x 0.90 = 126

I deeply apologize if this is wrong! <3
