Cows, pigs and ducks 2010-01-06
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?

15 pigs in 4 pens 2009-04-22
From Melissa:
A farmer has 15 pigs. He wants to put them all into 4 pens, have an odd number of pigs in each pen, and have no pigs left over. Also, he isn't thinking about having any for dinner, as they are his pets.
How does he do it?

Cows, chickens and pigs 2005-09-10
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?

Answered by Claude Tardif.
