Bea raised some cows and some turkeys. She raised a total of 28 cows and turkeys. There were 96 legs in all. How many turkeys did Bea raise?
Feel free to answer in the comment section below
I come up with 20 cows and 8 turkeys.
20 cows have a total of 80 legs(20 x4)
8 turkeys have a total of 16 legs(8 x 2)
which makes 96.
Of course some of the cows could be amputees so that would change the equation.

one cow, one turkey. 20 cross breeds from the cow and turkey playing hanky panky. each offspring was a birth defect with 3 legs. this was a hot seller at thanksgiving time.
