Let
x = the number of goats (4 legs)
4x = the number of chickens (2 legs)
So we have
4*x + 2*4x = 144
4x + 8x = 144
12x = 144
x = 144/12 = 12 (goats and 48 chickens)
or
Let's suppose that each of them have 6 legs, so there would be 24 chickens and goats (144/6), and we can say there are 12 chickens and 12 goats. But the number of chickens is 4 times the number of goats, so there are 48 chickens (4*12) and 12 goats.

A farmer counts 70 heads and 200 legs how many chickens and pigs does he have?
Let c represent the number of chickens and p represent the number of pigs.Since chickens and pigs have one head each, 70 heads = c + p.Since chickens have 2 legs and pigs have 4 legs, 200 legs = 2c + 4p.Subtracting twice the first equation (140 = 2c + 2p) from the second, we get60 = 2porp = 30 pigsRewriting the first equation as c = 70 - p, we get c = 40 chickens.

Count: counts the number of cells with numeric values in a range. Counta: counts the number of cells containing data (letters or numbers) in a range.
