A farmer has both pigs and chickens on his farm there are 78 fee and 27 heads how many pigs and how many chickens are there

Andre45 [30]

Assuming health non-mutated animals:
$Feet = 4*Pigs + 2*Chickens$
$Heads = Pigs + Chickens$

By back substitution:
$78 = 4*(27-Chickens) + 2*Chickens$
$78 = 108 -2*Chickens$
$-30 = -2*Chickens$
$Chickens= 15$

Then:
$27 = Pigs + 15$
$Pigs = 12$

To check:
$Feet = 4*Pigs + 2*Chickens$
$78 = 4*12 + 2*15$
$78 = 48 + 30$
$78 = 78$ CHECKS

I need to increase the number of customers by 20% daily, I talk to an average of 8 customers per hour during an 8 hour shift so

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Before we figure out how many customers you will need to talk per day to reach your goal, let's calculate what is 20% of how many customers you normally talk to a day.

current no. = 8

goal = 8 + 20%

20% = 8 x 0.20

(a percent is really just a fraction with the percent number over 100)

20% = 1.60

goal = 8 + 1.60

goal = 9.60

However, there is no such thing as .60 of a person so we will have to round up. You will need to talk to 10 customers per day.
