A farmer has 200 cattle in his garden.He bought 25% more.How many cattle has he now?

1 answer

To find out how many cattle the farmer has now, we first need to calculate how many more cattle he bought.

He initially has 200 cattle and buys 25% more.

First, calculate 25% of 200:

\[ 25% \text{ of } 200 = \frac{25}{100} \times 200 = 50 \]

Now, add this to the original number of cattle:

\[ 200 + 50 = 250 \]

So, the farmer now has 250 cattle.
