There are 1500 poultry on a farm. 40% are chickens, 2/3 of the ramainder are ducks and the rest are geese. What percentage of the poultry are geese?
To find the percentage of poultry that are geese, we first need to determine the number of geese on the farm.
Let's break down the problem step by step:
1. Calculate the number of chickens:
40% of 1500 poultry = 0.40 * 1500 = 600 chickens
2. Determine the remaining poultry after subtracting the chickens:
Remaining poultry = 1500 - 600 = 900
3. Find the number of ducks:
2/3 of the remaining poultry = (2/3) * 900 = 600 ducks
4. Calculate the number of geese:
Remaining poultry - number of ducks = 900 - 600 = 300 geese
Now that we know there are 300 geese on the farm, we can calculate the percentage:
Percentage of geese = (Number of geese / Total poultry) * 100
= (300 / 1500) * 100
= 20%
Therefore, 20% of the poultry on the farm are geese.
0.4*1500 = 600
1500-600 = 900
0.66*900 = 600
900-600 = 300
So, 300 are geese
