Lizzy: Jen has 10 more ducks than four times the number of chickens. If Jen has 150 ducks, how many total birds does she have?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
Let the number of chickens be c. If there are 150 ducks, we can describe the number of chickens as 150 = 10 + 4c. So, 4c = 150. And, there are c = 35 chickens. In total, Jen has 35 chickens + 150 ducks = 185 birds. Final answer: 185.
