In a pen of goats and chickens, there are 40 heads and 150 feet. How many goats and chickens are in the pen?
1 answer:
Hey there!!
A chicken has 1 head and 2 feet . A goat has 1 head and 4 feet
For heads, total = 40
Let us take the number of chickens as ' x ' and goats as ' y '
x + y = 40 ------------- ( 1 )
2x + 4y = 150 ----------- ( 2 )
Multiply the first equation with 2
2x + 2y = 80
2x + 4y = 150
Subtract the first equation from the first
2y = 70
y = 35
Number of goats = 35
substitute this in other equation
x + y = 40
x + 35 = 40
x = 5
Number of chickens are 4
Hope it helps!

70%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total percentage of his $60 dollars that he spent on fruit, we simply take the amount of money spent on fruit divided by the total spent.
% spent on fruit = 42 / 60
% spent on fruit = 0.7
% spent on fruit = 70 %

Step-by-step explanation:
x+3/x-2 - 1-x/x= 17/4
now let's put the expression on the upper side so it I'll be
x+3-x-2-1-x-x= 17×14
x-x-x-x+3-2-1= 238
+3-3= 238
= 238 answer
The answer is A, all that was needed was to do the math.
It’s either A or C I would pick A even though they don’t really make sense.
