SOLUTION: The new artic exhibit at the zoo displays polar bears and penguins altogether there are 47 head and 116 feet how many polar bears and how many penguins are part of the new exhibit

Let assume for a moment that all those animals have 2 legs each.
Then the number of legs would be 47*2 = 94.

There is a shortage of 116-96 = 22 legs.

It is clear that the shortage is due to the fact we counted only 2 legs for bears instead of counting 4.

Therefore, the number of bears is  =  = 11.

Answer.  11 bears and 47 - 11 = 36 penguins.
