HELP ASAP PLEASE! A flock of geese on a pond were being observed continuously. At 1 p.m., 1/5 of the geese flew away. At 2 p.m., 1/8 of the geese that remained flew away. At 3 p.m., three times as many geese as had flown away at 1 p.m. flew away, leaving 32 geese on the pond. At no other time did any geese arrive, fly away, or die. How many geese were in the original flock?

Sagot :

x is the original number of geese

1pm: (1/5)x fly away   ----- remaining (4/5)x
2pm: (1/8) (4/5)x fly away ----- remaining (7/10)x
3pm: 3(1/5)x fly away -------- remaining (1/10)x 
(1/10)x= 32
x=320
