10. A group of chickens and rabbits are being held together in a cage with no other animals. There are 72 heads and 200 feet inside the cage. How many chickens are there, and how many rabbits, assuming all of the animals are normal?
Answer:
Do some algebra. If c is the number of chickens, and r is the number of rabbits, then r + c = 72 and 4r + 2c = 200. To solve the equations, multiply the first one by two, then subtract the second and solve for r and c: 4r + 2c = 200; 2r + 2c = 144; 2r = 56; r = 28; c = 44.
There are 44 chickens and 28 rabbits in the cage.
