In a year, a man manages to sell only 65% of the chicken he owns. How many chicken should the man own to sell 47775 chicken in a years ?

Answer: Option E

Let the required number of chicken be x
Then, 65% of x = 47775
$$\begin{array}{rl}& \Rightarrow \frac{65}{100}x=47775\\ & \Rightarrow x=\frac{47775\times 100}{65}\\ & \Rightarrow x=73500\end{array}$$
