A pet shop has rabbits and gerbils for sale. They have 20 animals altogether. They sell two rabbits. Then one of the gerbils has

twins. The shop now has three times as many gerbils as rabbits. How many of each did they start with? (How do you get the answer?)

20 animals - 2 rabbits = 18 animals
18 animals + 2 gerbils = 20 animals.
20 animals / 4 = 5 animals
There are 5 rabbits and 15 gerbils now.
At the start 2 rabbits were sold so add that on.
5 + 2 = 7
There were 7 rabbits.
There weren't any twin gerbils then.
15 - 2 = 13.
There were 13 gerbils and 7 rabbits to start with.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying :)

Anumeha knows the following information about a set of 20 numbers: 9 numbers are a multiple of 3 but not a multiple of 4. 10 num
11111nata11111 [884]
First you need to set up the frequency chart. The columns can be Multiples of 3 and not multiples of 3. The rows can be Multiples of 4 and not multiples of 4 like shown in step 1. in attached file

Then we start adding in values I will add 20 as the total numbers as in step 2 in attached file. 

Next I place in the Multiple of 9 that is not 3, and the total multiples of 3, and total multiples of 4 in step 3.

Based on the totals I can assume that there are 10 that are not multiples of 4 and ten that are not multiples of 3 shown in step 4 

In step 5 I fill in the insides so that the totals will add up so we know that for multiples of 3 9+1=10 so I fill in the one at the top left corner.

In step 6 the only numbers left to fill in the totals would be 9 and 1  for values that are not multiples of 3 and not multiples of both.
