15 points.!!

1 mule

1 sheep

2 goats

1 pig

Right canny. U got 15 points.

The average price of the animals per head can be found through the equation:

(50m + 40s + 25g + 10p) / (m + s + g + p)

Since this equals 30,

50m + 40s + 25g + 10p = 30m + 30s + 30g + 30p

4m + 2s = g + 4p

We can then easily see that 4*1 + 2*2 = 4 + 4*1 and (50*1 + 40*2 + 25*4 + 10*1) / (1 + 2 + 4 + 1) = 30

Therefore, the farmer bought a mule, two sheep, four goats and a pig.

By the way, I think this has more than one answer.

Cany, pls xplain how u did.

mule=  1*50=      50

sheep= 1*40=     40

goat=    2*25=     50

pig=      1*10=     10

avg. price      =  150/5= 30

now tell me no. of points i've gotten

Hem singh. Bef u 2 persons didit.
