Wilfred is feeding his goats. He gives 56% of the bag of feed to the goats in field A and the rest to the goats in field B. If the bag has 21kg of feed, how much do the goats in field A get?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Determine how much goats in field A, get.

To do this, we simply multiply the percentage feed received by goats in field A by the actual bags of feeds

i.e.

Convert percentage to decimal

Hence, goats in field A get 11.76kg of feeds

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
