Solution of chicken and rabbit in the same cage

(total number of feet-total number of heads × number of chicken feet) ÷ (number of rabbit feet-number of chicken feet) = number of rabbits.

(94-35× 2) ÷ 2 = 12 (number of rabbits) Total number (35)- number of rabbits (12)= number of chickens (23)

Description: Let rabbits and chickens lift their feet at the same time, so that the total number of feet in the cage is reduced by two. Because the chicken has only two feet, only the rabbit's feet are left in the cage, and then the number of rabbits is two.
