There are twice as many cows as dogs at a petting farm. If there are currently 184 cows at the farm, and the farm owner decides to sell 1/4 of the cows and 3/4 of the dogs, how many animals are remaining on the farm?
If there are 184 cows, twice the number of dogs, then there are 184/2 =92 dogs on the farm.
When the farm owner decided to sell 1/4 of cows, he sold 1/4*184 = 46 cows
The total number of cows remaining on the farm is 184-46 = 138
If the farm owner also sold 3/4 of the dogs, he sold 3/4*92 = 69
The total number of dogs remaining on the farm is 92-69 = 23
The total number of animals remaining on the farm is 23+138 = 161
