Problem: of the goose eggs laid at a certain pond , 2 / 3 hatched and 3 / 4 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 125 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 ?
Rationale: of the goose eggs laid at a certain pond , 2 / 3 hatched and 3 / 4 of the geese that hatched from those eggs survived the first month : 2 / 3 * 3 / 4 = 1 / 2 survived the first month . of the geese that survived the first month , 3 / 5 did not survive the first year : ( 1 - 3 / 5 ) * 1 / 2 = 1 / 5 survived the first year . 120 geese survived the first year : 1 / 5 * ( total ) = 125 - - > ( total ) = 625 . answer : d .
