Solution

To find the total number of animals on the farm, you can follow these steps:

  1. First, understand that 30% of the total number of animals equals the number of male animals, which is 90.

  2. To find the total number of animals, you need to calculate what number 90 is 30% of.

  3. To do this, you can use the formula for finding the whole when you know a percentage of it:

    Whole = (Percentage / 100) * Total

    In this case, you need to rearrange the formula to solve for Total:

    Total = Whole / (Percentage / 100)

  4. Substitute the given values into the formula:

    Total = 90 / (30 / 100)

  5. Simplify the equation:

    Total = 90 / 0.3

  6. Solve the equation:

    Total = 300

So, there are 300 animals on the farm.
