Answer:
There are 10 pigs and 30 chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pigs be x
let the number of chickens be y
Then there are 40 heads . So the total number of pigs and chickens is 40
x + y = 40-----------------------(1)
We know that pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 legs
4x + 2y = 100----------------------(2)
Solving (1) and (2)
multiply (1) by 2
2x + 2y = 80-------------------------(3)
subtract (3) from (2)
4x + 2y = 100
2x + 2y = 80
----------------------------
2x = 20
----------------------------
x = 10
Now Substituting x in (1), we get
10 + y = 40
y = 40 - 10
y = 30

Using long division, you can multiply each given value by 100 to eliminate the decimals:
2.08x100=208
0.16x100=16
OR (calculator method)
2.08÷0.16=13
