A flock of geese on a pond were being observed contiuously.
At 1:00 pm 1/5 of the geese flew away.
At 2:00 pm 1/8 of the geese flew away.
At 3:00 pm 3 times as many geese as has flown away at 1:00 pm flew away, leaving 28 geese on the pond. At no other time did any geese arrive or fly away or die. How many geese were in the original flock?
I am at a total loss on this question. If someone could help me get started I would greatly appreciate it!
