Question

There are a total of 34 lions and Hyenas. Each lion eats 4 antelope. Each Hyena eats 3 antelope. 117 antelope are eaten. How many hyenas are there?

Answer 1

Total number of Hyenas is 19

Explanation:

Given

Total number of Lion + Hyenas= 34

Let Number of Hyenas be x

Number of Lions = 34 -x

Now According to question

Each lion eats 4 antelope + Each Hyena eats 3 antelope = 117

`4(34-x)+3x=117\\136-4x+3x=117\\136-x=117\\136-117=x\\\therefore x = 19`

Hyenas = 19

Lions = 34-19 = 15
