Janet counts 30 crows on the powerlines and 60% more hawks than crows. How many birds does she count total? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
First find how many more hawks than crows there are: 60% * 30 crows = 18 crows. Then add that number to the number of crows to find the total number of hawks: 18 crows + 30 crows = 48 crows. Then add the number of crows to the number of hawks to find the total number of birds: 48 crows + 30 crows = 78 crows.
Therefore, the answer is 78.
