Last year, Cedric had 35 animals in his . This year, the number of animals in Cedric&rsquo;s is 60 % greater than the number of animals in his last year. How many animals does Cedric have in his this year?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 56 . It&rsquo;s given that Cedric had 35 animals in his last year and that the number of animals in Cedric's this year is 60 % greater than the number of animals in his last year. It follows that the number of animals in Cedric&rsquo;s this year is 35 plus 60 % of 35 , which is equal to 35 + 35 60 100 , or 35 + 35 0.6 . This expression is equivalent to 35 + 21 , or 56 . Therefore, Cedric has 56 animals in his this year.
