Answer 1

Answer:

A village loses 14% of its goats in a flood

6% of the remainder die from dieseses

The 80%(100-14-6) goats are left in.

But, given that 8084 goats are left .

Let, x be the original number of goats in the village.

hence,

80% - 8084

100% - x

$\sf{x = \frac{8084 \times 100}{80} =10105 }$

•°•The original number of goats in the village is 10105.

hope it helps :)

Answer 2
