Question

A pet store employee counts 23 heads and 68 feet on the animals in the store. The store currently only has kittens and parakeets left in the store. How many of each are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

11 kittens and 12 parakeets

Step-by-step explanation:

each kitten has 4 feet while each parakeet has 2

11 x 4 = 44 (kittens)

12 x 2 = 24 (parakeets)

11 + 12 is 23 which is your 23 heads.

44 + 24 is 68 which would be your feet
