So the way I would do this is by finding 72 heads with them all being chickens. So basically multiply 72 by 2 to get 144 legs. So this means that 56 more legs are needed. And since the difference between legs of chickens and rabbits is two, then we just divide 56 by two to figure out how many rabbits there are.
56/2 = 28
And then to figure out the number of chickens, just do 72 - 28 = 44.
So there are 28 rabbits, and 44 chickens.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of apples that Nicole bought was 6 pounds.
Each pound of apple cost $1.50
This means that the total cost of the 6 pounds of apple that Nicole bought would be
6 × 1.5 = $9
The store had a discount of $2 off her total purchase. This means that the amount that was paid is
9 - 2 = $7
If Nicole and her friend then divided the cost of the purchase evenly, let x represent the amount that each of them would pay. Therefore, the expression that can be used to determine how much Nicole and her friend each paid for the apples would be
x = 7/2
