Of the goose eggs laid at a certain pond, 1/4 hatched and 4/5 of the geese that hatched from those eggs survived the first month. Of the geese that survived the first month, 3/5 did not survive the first year. If 120 geese survived the first year and if no more than one goose hatched from each egg, how many goose eggs were laid at the pond? Choose the correct choice:
A) 1200
B) 1300
C) 1400
D) 1500
E) 1600
Let x be the number of eggs that were laid.   (2/5)(4/5)(1/4)x = 120   (8/100)x = 120   x = 1500   The answer is 1500.
