There are 1500 poultry on a farm. 40% are chickens 2 third of the remainder are ducks and the rest are geese what percentage of the poultry are geese

0.60 are NOT chickens = 0.6 * 1500 = 900 are ducks or geese

1/3 of the 900 are geese
1/3 * 900 = 300 geese
(300/1500) * 100 = ?

To find the percentage of geese among the poultry, we need to first calculate the number of geese and then convert it to a percentage. Let's break down the problem step by step.

Given:
Total poultry = 1500

Step 1: Calculate the number of chickens
We are told that 40% of the poultry are chickens. To find the number of chickens, we can multiply the total poultry by the percentage representing chickens:

Number of chickens = (40/100) * 1500 = 600

Step 2: Calculate the remainder after removing the chickens
To find the remainder of the poultry, we subtract the number of chickens from the total poultry:

Remainder = Total poultry - Number of chickens = 1500 - 600 = 900

Step 3: Calculate the number of ducks
We are told that two-thirds of the remainder are ducks. To find the number of ducks, we can multiply the remainder by the fraction representing ducks:

Number of ducks = (2/3) * 900 = 600

Step 4: Calculate the number of geese
To find the number of geese, we subtract the number of chickens and ducks from the total poultry:

Number of geese = Total poultry - (Number of chickens + Number of ducks)
Number of geese = 1500 - (600 + 600) = 300

Step 5: Calculate the percentage of geese
To find the percentage of geese among the poultry, we need to divide the number of geese by the total poultry and then multiply by 100:

Percentage of geese = (Number of geese / Total poultry) * 100
Percentage of geese = (300 / 1500) * 100 = 20%

Therefore, 20% of the poultry on the farm are geese.
