You leave your ranch in South Texas to drive your cattle to the railroad in Abilene, Kansas. You have 2,000 head of cattle and 10 cowboys (not including you.) Along the trail, you are attacked by some cattle rustlers, the herd stampedes during a thunderstorm, and you have trouble finding water. As a result, when you get to Abilene, you have lost 10% of the herd. You sell the cattle in Abilene for $35 a head. You pay each of the cowboys $100 and the rest of the money is yours. How much did you make?

You get $5727.27

Step-by-step explanation:

At the start, you have 2000

After you are attacked, stampeded and have trouble finding water, you have lost 10% of your cattle

2000 * 10% is 200

2000 - 200 is 1800

Multiply 1800 cattle by $35 per cow

1800 * $35 = $63000

10 cowboys + 1 (you) is 11 people

Divide $63000 by 11

63000 / 11 = $5727.27

You get $5727.27

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72
