A farmer has 320 sheep. A storm comes and 35% of the sheep survive, so how many sheep does the farmer has right now? Correct Answer 112

Given:

Total number of sheep = 320

Calculation:

Let the farmer has x number of sheep right now.

x = 35% of 320

⇒ x = (35/100) × 320

⇒ x = 112

∴ The farmer has 112 sheep right now.

This question is directly asking the number of sheep right now, so we do not need to get confused by considering it how many sheep have been killed.
