math question please help?

it’s about geese

a flock of geese on a pond are watched continuously

at 1:00 pm 1/5 of the geese flew away

at 2:00 pm 1/8 of the geese that remained flew away

at 3:00 pm 3 times as many geese as flown away at 1:00 pm leaving 28 geese on the pond

at no other time did any geese arrive or fly away

how many geese were at the original flock? please explain how for i can understand it

LOL, it would be very difficult to have .8 of a goose. Try this:

let X = total number of geese

1/5 x = geese that left at 1

1/8(4/5x) = geese that left at 2 => 1/10x

3/5 x = geese that left at 3

x – 1/5x – 1/10x – 3/5x = 28

x = 280

1PM = 56

2PM = 28

3PM = 168

total of 252 geese flew away leaving 28
