Answer:
80 parrots were purchased.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of parrots be k.
If 20% (or 20/100 = 1/5) flew away and 5% (5/100 = 1/20) died, the remaining parrots will be k – (¹/₅k + ¹/₂₀k) = k – ¼k = ¾k.
Of the remaining, 45% (or 45/100 = 9/20) were sold, which means the total number of sold parrots will be ¾k × ⁹/₂₀ = ²⁷/₈₀k.
The remaining parrots = ¾k – ²⁷/₈₀k = ³³/₈₀k = 33
k = 33 × ⁸⁰/₃₃ = 80 parrots were purchased.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to divide 2/5 and 3/4. First, you need to do "Keep Change Flip". We do this by keeping 2/5 the same, changing the division sign to a multiplication sign and flipping 3/4 to make 4/3. Lastly, you add them up and get your answer.
2/5 ÷ 3/4
2/5 X 4/3 = 8/15
