In a farm house there only horses and sheep.If 50 % 0f the horses were sheep, there would be 50% more sheep than the number of horses.What percentage of all animals are horses. Ans - horses 0.5 H sheep s+0.5h
0.5 * 1.5= s+0.5 H from where this 1.5 came???

Take horses as 100 initially, h=100, 50 percent replaced by sheep’s so h=50 and s=50, given that sheep’s becomes 1.5 times that of horses, so total number of sheep’s must be 75, so additional sheep’s are 25, percentage is h/(h+s)*100===100/125*100

Let the horse be 2x and the sheep be y. Now, 50 percent of the horses were sheep, so horses become x, and sheep will be y+x, and put into the equation, the next line, they state 50 percent more sheep than horses, which means y+x=x*1.5.By solving this, y=0.5x. Horse=2x, Sheep =0.5x , 2x/2.5x*100=80

50 percent is written as 1.5
