Answer:

60 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a proportion. We know a part of the whole, but not the whole, so the whole is x.

57/x

We know that 57/x must equal 95/100 or 95%

Set the equations equal to each other and cross multiply.

57/x=95/100

95x=5700

Divide by 95 on both sides

x=60
