Question

One night Peter counted 120 sheep while trying to fall asleep. The next night, he counted sheep for 30% less time than he had on the first night. How many sheep did Peter count over the two nights if he always counts at the same rate?

Answer 1

Answer:

204

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first night, Peter counted 120 sheep. The next night, he counted for 30% less time, which means he counted for 70% of the time he did on the second night

So, the number of sheep he counted on the second night is 0.7 * 120 = 84

The total number of sheep Peter counted over the two nights is 120 + 84 = 204.
