Flock x flock y flock z total pieces of food eaten (from previous page) 123 99 78 food percentage*  %  %  % simulated number of birds in flock for 2nd generation** * divide each flock's total pieces of food by 300, the total number of pieces of food eaten. ** multiply the food percentage for each flock by the total number of birds (30).

Number of birds in flock X = 12 , Food percentage = 41%

Number of birds in flock y = 10 , Food percentage = 33%

Number of birds in Flock z = 8 , Food percentage = 26%

Using the given data:

Total pieces of food eaten by each flock :

Flock x = 123

Flock y = 99

Flock z = 78

Total pieces of food eaten  = 300

Total number of birds = 30

Next step : Calculate percentage of each flocks' total pieces of food to determine the number and percentage of birds in each flock

Flock X = ( 123 / 300 ) * 100 = 41 %

∴ number of birds in Flock A = 41% * 30 = 12 birds

Flock Y = ( 99 / 300 ) * 100 = 33%

∴ number of birds in Flock Y = 10

Flock Z = ( 78 / 300 ) * 100 = 26%

number of birds in flock Z = 26% * 30 = 8 birds

Hence we can conclude that Number of birds in flock X = 12 , Food percentage = 41%, Number of birds in flock y = 10 , Food percentage = 33%, Number of birds in Flock z = 8 , Food percentage = 26%

Flock X  - 41 % - 12

Flock Y - 33% -  10

Flock Z - 26% -  8

Explanation:

All you really need to do is follow the instructions.

Here is the information given:

               Total pieces of

                Food Eaten            Percentage(%)                             Number of birds      

Flock X              123             123/300 = 0.41 x 100% = 41%          0.41 x 30 = 12

Flock Y               99              99/300 = 0.33 x 100% = 33%        0.33 x 30 = 10

Flock Z               78              78/300 = 0.26 x 100% = 26%        0.26 x 30 = 8  

Total                 300                                                    100%                           30

In the percentage portion you need to multiply it by 100% if you want to get the percentage in percent. By multiplying it by the total number of birds, you will be able to get the number of birds in each flock.

i'd say that the moon rock is about 2.2 billion years old.
