If He has a total of 11 snakes and elephants in stock The animals that he has in stock have a total of 12 legs How many of his animals are snakes?

Let's denote the number of snakes as "S" and the number of elephants as "E". Since there are a total of 11 animals in stock, we know that S + E = 11. Given that the total number of legs is 12, snakes have no legs and elephants have 4 legs each. Thus, 4E = 12. Solving the system of equations, we find S = 11 - E = 11 - (12/4) = 11 - 3 = 8.Therefore, there are 8 snakes in stock.
