Here's a Perl script that will answer the problem for any number of heads and feet. sub how_many { print "Number of heads: "; chomp($h = ); print "Number of feet: ";chomp($f = ); $p = $h; $c = 0; while (($p*4 + $c*2) != $f) { $p--; $c++; } } &how_many; print "There are $p pigs and $c chickens.\n"; print "They have $h heads and $f feet.\n"; Number of heads: 27 Number of feet: 78 There are 12 pigs and 15 chickens. They have 27 heads and 78 feet.

Felix had a farm an on that farm he had chickens and pigs which had 48 heads and 124 feet all together how many chickens and pigs were there?
Let the number of chickens be x and the number of pigs be y. Each chicken has 1 head and 2 feet, while each pig has 1 head and 4 feet. We can then write the equations x + y = 48 (counting heads) and 2x + 4y = 124 (counting feet). Solving these equations simultaneously gives x = 24 and y = 24, so there were 24 chickens and 24 pigs.

How many pigs and chickens are there if there are 48 heads and 124 feet?
Since PIgs don't fly yet, we will say they have no wings and we say chickens have 2 legs. Let C be the number of chickens and P be the number of pigs. Also, let's assume each chicken has two wings. 4P+2C=24 2C=12 so C=6 4P+12=24 4P=12 so P=3 6 chickens and 3 pigs. This answer must be changed when pigs fly!

There are only pigs and chickens on a farm there are only 22 heads and 72 feet in all. how many pigs and chickens are there?
14 pigs 8 chicken's Since there are 22 heads, let the number of pigs be x and the number of chickens be 22 - x. Since pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 legs, and there are 72 legs in all, we have 4x + 2(22 - x) = 72 4x + 44 - 2x = 72 2x + 44 = 72 2x + 44 - 44 = 72 - 44 2x = 28 2x/2 = 28/2 x = 14 (the number of pigs) 22 - x = 22 - 14 = 8 (the number of chickens)
How many chickens and pigs are there if there are 169 heads and 398 feet?
There are 139 chickens and 30 pigs. Let c = number of chickens and p = number of pigs Each has 1 head, therefore c + p = 169 Each chicken has 2 feet and each pig has 4 feet, therefore 2c + 4p = 398 => c + 2p = 199 Subtracting the first from the second gives: c + 2p - c - p = 199 - 169 => p = 30 Substitute in the first c + 30 = 169 c = 139

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.
