These are easier than they look: Imagine all the animals were horses which would mean there were 4 x 113 = 452 legs. The actual number of legs is 353 so there is a shortage of 99 legs, ie there are 99 3-legged cows (and 14 horses).
Check: Does 3 x 99 and 4 x 14 add up to 353? 3 x 99 = 297, 4 x 14 = 56, 297 + 56 = 353. Job done!
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?
27
There are 61 horses and 10 chickens on the farm.
there are 36 horses and 23 chickens.........
50 horses and 10 chickens

There are 42 chickens in the farm.
85 chickens
If all were horses there would be 428 legs. The shortfall of 36 legs represents 18 chickens so there are 89 horses.
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.
There are 51 horses and 14 sheep (51*4)+(14*3)=246 51+14=65
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
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).
