a man has a number of ducks costing rs 10 each and three times as many chickens costing rs. 6 each . if total cost of ducks and chikens is rs.432.find the number of chickens the man has.
Equations:
Quantity: c = 3*d
Value: 6c + 10d = 432
------------------------------
Substitute for "c" and solve for "d":
6(3d) + 10d = 432
28d = 432
d = ?

Comment: "d" should be a whole number.
With the numbers you have posted it is not.
