A farmer has a certain amount of chickens and rabbits Altogether these animals have 140 feet and 50 heads How many rabbits and chickens does the farmer have?
Suppose there are C chickens and R rabbits.
Then
Feet: 2*C + 4*R = 140 . . . . . (I)
Heads: C + R = 50 . . . . . . . . (II)
Equation (I) - Equation (II) gives:
2*C + 4*R - 2*C - 2*R = 140 - 2*50
or 2*R = 40 so that R = 20
and then, by (II), C + 20 = 50 so that C = 30.
Answer: 20 rabbits and 30 chickens.
This assumes, of course, that there are no headless chickens running around!

At the fair the chickens and the rabbits were placed under the same tent. The chickens and the rabbits have a total of 360 legs. If there were 105 animals how many were rabbits?
I believe it's 75 rabbits. There are 105 animals. There are 75 x 4(rabbit legs) = 300 legs and 30 x 2(chicken legs) = 60 legs, which totals 360 legs. The 75 rabbits plus 30 chickens equals 105 animals.
