Question

Deepak has some hens and some goats. If the total number of animals heads is 90 and the total number of animal feet is 248, what is the total number of goats Deepak has?

Answer 1

Let number of goats be x

Number of hens = 90-x

Hens have 2 legs and goats have 4 legs.

Thus total number of legs = 248

4(x) + 2(90-x) = 248

4x + 180 - 2x = 248

2x = 68

x=34

Thus, number of goats = 34
