    A farmer has a total of 200 ducks and cows in his barn. If he has n cows, how many total legs are there in the barn? (Make sure you include the farmer.)

    • Number of cows = n
    • Legs per cow = 4
    • Cows legs = 4n
    • Number of ducks = 200 - n
    • Legs per duck = 2
    • Number of ducks legs = (200 - n) x 2 = 400 - 2n
    • Farmers legs = 2
    Total legs = Cows legs + Ducks Legs + Farmers Legs
    Total legs = 4n + 400 - 2n + 2
    Total legs = 2n + 402
