Ryan went into town and bought some chicken feed that would last for the next 60 days. If he buys two 50 lbs bags for 5 chickens, how much does each chicken eat a day.

3 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 50 + 50 = 100

2. 100 / 5 = 20

3. 60 / 20 = 3

➷ First identify and assign the variables:

q = number of quarters

d = number of dimes

This is what we know:

q + d = 22

A quarter is 25 cents and a dime is 10 cents

You can write this as:

0.25q + 0.1d = 3.40

Rearrange the first equation for d

d = 22 - q

Substitute this value into the other equation:

0.25q + 0.1(22 - q) = 3.40

Simplify:

0.25q + 2.2 - 0.1q = 3.40

0.15q + 2.2 = 3.4

Subtract 2.2 from both sides:

0.15q = 1.2

Divide both sides by 0.15:

q = 8

Substitute into the first equation:

8 + d = 22

d = 14

Therefore, there are 8 quarters and 14 dimes.
