Here's a tip: When two types of things contribute different amounts to a total, multiply each type by its rate separately, then combine.

1. Miss Piggie's Farm has chickens (2 legs) and cows (4 legs). There are 40 legs total. There are twice as many chickens as cows. How many chickens? How many cows? Show your work.

Hint: If there are 5 cows, how many chickens would that be? How many legs total?

2. Dancer's Parking Garage has cars (4 wheels) and motorcycles (2 wheels). There are 30 wheels total. There are 3 more cars than motorcycles. How many cars? How many motorcycles? Show your work.

3. At Snuffelupagus Stadium, adult tickets cost $5 and kid tickets cost $3. The stadium sold the same number of adult and kid tickets and made $96 total. How many of each ticket did they sell? Show your work.
