Cows, pigs and ducks |

From Eileen:
There are 239 cows and pigs in a farm. The total number of cows and ducks in the farm is 767. There are 5 times as many ducks as pigs. If the farmer can sell each duck for $7.50, how much can he collect from the sale of all his ducks?

From damebochie:
I got this problem and want to write a system of equation for it:
Farmer Joe has cows and chickens on his farm. One day he count 76 legs and 24 heads. How many cows and how many chickens are on the farm? write a system of equations and solve.
I don't have any problem to solve it, but I just can;t see how I am going to write this system of equation.
Thank you so much for helping?

Chickens and cows |

From Norman:
My grandson is testing me on a question he recently solved.
The question is "A farmer has cows and chickens - there are 252 heads and 81 legs - how many of each animal does he have?"
I immediately thought of the quadratic equations I learned 50 years ago at school, but cannot remember how to do it. It is further complicated by the fact that 1 animal must have 3 legs as the total number of legs is 81 (or perhaps he his trying to catch me out) Any helpful advice would be welcome.
Many thanks
Norman

From Markequetta:
I was asked a question by a friend who refuses to give the right answer to a question that I answered wrong. So if you can help me that would be great! The level of my question is secondary I believe.
Question:
Cows cost: $10
Chickens cost: $0.50
Pigs cost: $3
You have to buy 100 animals and spend $100, so how many cows, chickens, and pigs do you have on your farm?
