Answer 1

Answer:

Flock X  - 41 % - 12

Flock Y - 33% -  10

Flock Z - 26% -  8

Explanation:

All you really need to do is follow the instructions.

Here is the information given:

               Total pieces of

                Food Eaten            Percentage(%)                             Number of birds      

Flock X              123             123/300 = 0.41 x 100% = 41%          0.41 x 30 = 12

Flock Y               99              99/300 = 0.33 x 100% = 33%        0.33 x 30 = 10

Flock Z               78              78/300 = 0.26 x 100% = 26%        0.26 x 30 = 8  

Total                 300                                                    100%                           30

In the percentage portion you need to multiply it by 100% if you want to get the percentage in percent. By multiplying it by the total number of birds, you will be able to get the number of birds in each flock.
