Answer:
2 and a half cows
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 14 cows and the farmer consumes 10.
His child then slaughters and consumes one and a half cows.
The farmers wife then takes one to the market.
At todays prices, a singular cow is around £1,577, so to answer your question, the family made £1,577 from the one cow the wife sold.
