A Woman has cat's and birds. When asked how many of each she has she answers... " I have between both cats and birds 400 feet and 232 eyes.(Cats have 4 feet and Birds have 2 feet)
How Many Total?
How many Birds?
How many Cats?
Please help me solve this. Please Please. Thank You
number of cats --- c
number of birds ---b
feet: 4c + 2b = 400 or 2c + b = 200
eyes: 2c + 2b = 232 or c+b= 116
subtract:
c = 84
then b = 32
84 cats and 32 birds
check:
feet: 84(4) + 32(2) = 400
eyes: 84(2) + 32(2) = 232
