Question

In a kraal there are donkeys and ostriches. There are 127 heads and 332 legs. How many
ostriches and donkeys are there?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 43 no.of donkeys.

Here there are 114 heads and it should be 114 - x ostriches ,so ever donkey will have 4 legs and ever ostriches have 2 legs.

Here there is given that 314 total no.of legs.

= > 4x + 2(114 - x) = 314=>4x+2(114−x)=314

= > 4x + 228 - 2x = 314=>4x+228−2x=314

= > 2x + 228 = 314=>2x+228=314

= > 2x = 86=>2x=86

= > x = 43=>x=43

Therefore, 43 is the no.of donkeys.
