An easy way to find any percentage of a number is to multiply with decimals. To do this you have to first convert the percentage to a decimal. Do this by moving the decimal point in the percentage 2 places to the left. This means that 2.0% becomes 0.02. Then, multiply this decimal by the whole number. So, 0.02*350. This equals 7, which is 2% of 350.

This same trick will work with any problem. For example 38% of 435 is the same as 0.38*435, which equals 165.3.

Answer:

let the number of cows = x

let the number of chickens = y

since there are 42 heads:

x + y = 42

and since a cow has 4 legs, and a chicken has 2

4x + 2y = 144

from first equation:

x + y = 42

x = 42 - y (now, we will substitute this in the second equation)

4(42 - y) + 2y = 144

168 - 4y + 2y = 144

2y = 168 - 144

2y = 24

y = 12

now, we know the number of chickens. we will replace y with 12 in the first equation since it is more simpler

x + 12 = 42

x = 30

So, there are 30 cows and 12 chickens
