How many pigs and chickens are there if there are 48 heads and 124 feet?

Since PIgs don't fly yet, we will say they have no wings and we say chickens have 2 legs. Let C be the number of chickens and P be the number of pigs. Also, let's assume each chicken has two wings. 4P+2C=24 2C=12 so C=6 4P+12=24 4P=12 so P=3 6 chickens and 3 pigs. This answer must be changed when pigs fly!
