A farmer caught some wild pigs to use as founders for a domestic herd. The farmer wants all of her pigs to have one distinctive

color. Most of the wild pigs are brown, but she catches a few with red hair and a few with black hair. The farmer plans to breed either the black-haired or the red-haired pigs to establish a pure-breeding herd (eliminating all other colors). Black hair (B) is dominant over brown (W). Black (B) and brown (W) are dominant over red (R). If the farmer wants her whole herd to reach its new color in as few generations as possible, should she breed for red-haired pigs, or should she breed for black-haired pigs? Why?

Answer: Breed for black-haired pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

Now according to the statement, the farmer catches  wild pigs and mostly are brown.

Since black hair is dominant over brown and also black and brown are dominant over red,  this implies that red is the least dominant color meaning if breeding occurs, there would be less chance of getting red colored pigs.

She wants to breed either black or red haired pigs and since black is more dominant so she should breed the black ones with the brown ones or with themselves so she would eventually get pure-breeding herd i.e. of black color.

<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

A fruitseller bought 50kg of the fruits. He sold 30kg of fruits for the cost price of 35kg of fruits and he sold the remaining quantity for the cost Price of 18kg of fruits. calculate his profit or loss percent in the total transaction.

<h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

let the cost price be 50x

→he sells 30kg of fruits on it's CP of 35 kg

→CP of 30kg fruits = 30x

→SP of 35kg fruits = 35x

→remaing fruits are 20kg

→he sells 20kg of fruits on CP of 16kg

→CP of 20kg fruits = 20x

→SP of 20kg fruits = 16x

→total CP is = 50x

→total SP is = (35 + 16) = 51x

→SP > CP (it means profit)

→profit = SP-CP

→ 51-50

→ 1

<h2 /><h2><u>Now,</u></h2>

→ Profit% = gain/CP × 100

→ Profit% = 1/50 × 100

→ 2%

Hence the fruit seller had a profit% of 2%.

Read the word problem. Hershel buys 5 bags of cookies, 3 bags of granola, and several bags of fruit snacks from a bake sale. In
agasfer [191]

Answer : Hershel buys 2 bags of fruit snacks.

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Number of bags of granola =3

Number of bags of cookies = 5

Total number of bags he buys from the bake sale =10

\text{Remaining bags are of fruit snacks} =10-(5+3)=10-8=2

So, number of bags of fruit snacks = 2

Hence, Hershel buys 2 bags of fruit snacks .

It is a comparison type of word problem.  

As we just compare the items with the total items to get the remaining items.
