In Sam’s pet corner, there are puppies and parrots, the total of 15 heads and 50 feet. How many parrots and how many puppies?

1 answer:

3 0

Puppies = 4 feet
Parrots = 2 feet

15 heads = 15 animals

Assumed all Parrots,
15 x 2 = 30 feet

50 - 30 = 20
There are 20 extra feet which must belong to puppies' extra 2 feet each
20 ÷ 2 = 10

There are 10 puppies
15 - 10 = 5
There are 5 parrots

Check:
10 x 4 + 5 x 2 = 50 feet (Correct)

Checking for each option

Option A: $A(w) = -w^2+200w$

Substitute w = 10 and check if we'd get 900 as the answer
$A(10) = -(10)^2+200(10) = -100+2000 = 1900$

Option B: $A(w) = -w^2+100w$
Substitute w = 10 and check if we'd get 900 as the answer
$A(10)=-(10)^2+100(10)=-100+1000=900$

Option C: $A(w)=w^2+40w$
Substitute w = 10 and check if we'd get 900 as the answer
$A(10) = 10^2+40(10)=100+400=500$

Option D: $A(w) = w^2+90w$
Substitue w = 10 and check if we'd get 900 as the answer
$A(10)=10^2+90(10) = 100+900=1000$
