93 Horses and 36 cows. ( 3 legs / cow * x cow + 4 legs / horse * y horse = 480 legs and 1 head / cow * x cow + 1 head / horse * y horse = 129 are two equations in two unknowns, which can easily be solved )

On a farm there are horses and three legged cows there are a total of 60 heads and 213 legs how many horses are on the farm?
51 horses of which there are 3 cows with 2 heads and three legs or since there are no 3 legged cows there are 60 horses
On a farm there are horses and chickens There are total of 131 heads and 448 legs How many horses are on the farm?
On a farm there are chickens and three-legged-cows. There are total of 49 heads and 130 legs. How many chickens are on the farm?
On a farm there are three-legged-cows and horses There are total of 59 heads and 211 legs How many three-legged-cows are on the farm?
If all animals were horses there would be 4 x 59 ie 236 legs. There is a shortage of 25 legs so there are 25 cows (and 34 horses).
On a farm there are horses and three-legged-cows There are total of 90 heads and 337 legs How many horses are on the farm?
If all the animals were horses there would be 360 legs. There is a shortfall of 23 which means 23 cows and therefore 67 horses.
On a farm there are three-legged-cows and chickens there are a total of 119 heads and 332 legs how many three-legged-cows are on the farm?
94 three legged cows and 25 chickens.

There are 51 horses and 14 sheep (51*4)+(14*3)=246 51+14=65

94 three legged cows and 25 chickens.

You are supposed to: 1) Write two equations, one for the number of heads (express it in terms of the number of cows and horses, which of course are expressed as variables), and one for the number of legs (also expressed as an equation in terms of the number of cows and horses. 2) Solve the two equations simultaneously.
On a farm there are horses and three-legged-cows There are total of 131 heads and 488 legs How many horses are on the farm?
If all cows were four-legged there would be a total of 4 x 131 ie 524 legs. There are therefore 36 missing legs so there are 95 horses. (4 x 95 + 3 x 36 = 380 + 108 = 488 legs)
There are horses and three legged cows there are a total of 63 heads and 240 legs how many horses?
The easiest way is to substract three times the number of heads from the legs and that will give you the amount of horses. The reasoning is as follows:legs = lheads = hhorses = xcows = (h - x)l = 3(h-x)+4xl = 3h-3x+4xl-3h = xx = l-3h
On a farm there are three-legged cows and horses there are 46 heads and 153 legs how many three-legged cows are there?
Do-it-in-your-head method: If all animals were horses there would be 4 x 46 ie 184 legs. There is a shortage of 31 legs which means there are 31 cows (and 15 horses). 31 x 3 = 93, 15 x 4 = 60 total 153. Shazam!
There are horses and three legged cows there are a total of 94 heads and 357 legs how many horses?
If the cows were normal there would be a total of 4 x 94 ie 376 legs. There is a deficit of 19 legs so there are 19 cows leaving 75 horses. Check: 75 x 4 + 19 x 3 = 300 + 57 QED
On a farm there are three-legged-cows and horses There are total of 96 heads and 313 legs How many three-legged-cows are on the farm?
There are 96 heads, so 96 animals. If all were horses, that would be 4 x 96 = 384 legs, but there are only 313 legs, which means there are 384-313 = 71 legs short or 71 cows and 25 horses. Mathematically, let x = horses and y = cows x + y = 96 4x + 3y = 313 multiply first equation by 4: 4x + 4y = 384 4x + 3y = 313 subtract equations y = 71 = cows x = 25 = horses
