Answer:

5 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set chickens and pigs with variables "c" and "p" respectively.

We know there a 16 animals in all, so there are:

c+p=16

We know there are 54 legs and chickens have 2 legs and pigs have 4 legs each:

2c+4p=54

Now we have our system of equations:

c+p=16

2c+4p=54

We are trying to find the number of chickens, so we write the first equation in respect to c.

p=16-c

Substituting the first derived equation to equation two:

2c+64-4c=54

Simplifying:

64-2c=54

2c=10

c=5

So there are 5 chickens.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

<em>Answer: D. Jake paid his loan in 12 months</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Jake took out an interest-free loan of $2,401.56 from the bank to buy a car.

Since he has to pay no interest for the loan, the monthly payments are totally used to cover the amount of the loan.

He paid the bank $200.13 each month, thus the total months needed to pay the loan is:

\frac{\$2,401.56 }{\$200.13}=12

Answer: D. Jake paid his loan in 12 months
