Question

Mr. Jones has 550 goats, which is 10% more than Mr. King has. How many more goats does Mr. Jones have than Mr. King?

Answer 1

Answer:

55

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Jone's goats = 550

Let Number of King's goat = x

Jone's goat is 10% more than King's ;

Thus, number King's goat would be ;

x = 550 - (10% of 550)

x = 550 - 55

x = 495

x = Mr. King's goat

Hence, Jones goat is :

550 - 495 = 55 more than Mr King's goat.
