Chickens and rabbits live in the same cage, which is 262 feet in total. Rabbits are 20 less than chickens. How many chickens and rabbits are there respectively?
2x20=40 (only) feet.

Remaining foot: 262-40=222 (only)

Rabbit: 222(4+2)= 37 (only)

Chicken: 37+20=57 (only)

A: There are 57 chickens and 37 rabbits.

The way to solve the problem: This problem is different from the general problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage. As we all know, "rabbits are 20 fewer than chickens", so many chicken feet are 2x20=40 (one), and the number of the remaining feet is the same as that of chickens and rabbits. In order to find the rabbit, we must divide the remaining feet by (4+2) (the sum of the feet of a chicken and a rabbit). In this way, the number of rabbits is found.
