A farm is made up of brown and white goats. the number of male brown goats is 35% less than the total number of brown goats. The total number of female goats is 20 times more than the number of female brown goats. If the total population of male goats is half the population of the female goats, what percentage of male goats are brown? Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 30.1
B) 20.5
C) 15.2
D) 10.2
E) 28.6
Since we are dealing in percentage let us pick 100 as the number of brown male goats.   That means that the total number of brown goats is= 135 (number of male brown goats is 35% less than the total number of brown goats),   therefore the number of brown female goats is 35.   The total number of female goats is 15x the number of brown female goats= 35*20=

700 female goats.   Male goats total population is half the population of the female goats= 700/2= 
<gadget id="calculator">700/2</gadget>
<output>350</output>
350   Therefore percentage of male horses goats that are brown= 100/350*100=28.6   Correct option is 28.6
