Answer:
Total number of animals in the group = 170
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of sheep = a
Number of dragons in the group = 75
Number of dragons opposite dragons = 37
Number of sheep opposite to the dragon = 1
Number of sheep left = a - 1
Number of sheep opposite to sheep = [tex]\frac{(a-1)}{2}[/tex]
Since. number of sheep opposite to sheep is 10 more than of dragons opposite dragons,
[tex]\frac{(a-1)}{2}[/tex] = 37 + 10
[tex]\frac{(a-1)}{2}=47[/tex]
a - 1 = 94
a = 95
Then total number of animals in the group = Total number of sheep + Total number of dragons
= 95 + 75
= 170
Therefore, total number of animals in the group are 170.
