Solution:

Initially, 15% of 27 goats got pregnant, which is 4.05, rounded down to 4 goats. Each had 7 kids, so 4 x 7 = 28 kids. In total, there are now 27 + 28 = 55 goats. However, 62% of the 28 kids died, which is 17.36, rounded down to 17 kids. Therefore, 28 - 17 = 11 kids survived. The total number of goats left is 27 + 11 = 38 goats.
