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???

50 percent is written as 1.5

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

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
