During that time, 2D/3 chickens will be sold. \n" ); document.write( "so C-(2D/3)=100, and for the other D/2 days to sell them \n" ); document.write( "so C-(3D/2)=25 \n" ); document.write( "subtract and (5D/6)=75 and D=90, C=160 \n" ); document.write( "160 chickens and 90 ducks \n" ); document.write( "in 30 days at 3 a day, the ducks are gone and there are 60 fewer chickens, 100. \n" ); document.write( "in 45 days at 2 a day, the ducks are gone and 135 fewer chickens, leaving 25.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
