Question

In Sam’s pet corner, there are puppies and parrots, the total of 15 heads and 50 feet. How many parrots and how many puppies?

Answer 1

Since the number of feet = 50

We can start by taking the number of puppies as 10(Trial and Error Method)

Since puppies have 4 feet,

10 puppies will have 40 feet.

Parrots have 2 feet so the remaining pets, i.e., 5 parrots will have 10 feet.

Therefore the total = 50 feet
