Question 9

Question 10

Question 1 Solution.
At 1:00 P.M., 1/5 = 20% of the geese flew away; leaving 80%.
At 2:00 P.M., 1/8 of 80% = 10% flew away.
At 3:00 P.M., 3 times 20% = 60% flew away; leaving 28 geese.
A total of 20% + 10% + 60% = 90% have flown away; leaving 10%.
Thus the remaining 28 geese are 10%.
The original flock was 100% = 10 times 10% = 10 x 28 = 280.
