There are 35 chickens and rabbits in total and 94 legs. How many chickens and rabbits are there? First of all, we know that the number of feet = the number of chickens × 2 and the number of rabbits × 4, and the number of heads = the number of chickens and the number of rabbits. We write these two known conditions into the table, as shown in the figure below.

6. Then click "Solver" in the "Data" tab, as shown in the figure below.

7. First, let’s look at the upper part, which means that according to the question, we want to get a result where B4 (number of feet) is 94 by changing B2 (number of chickens) and B3 (number of rabbits), as shown in the figure below.

8. Click the Add button on the right to add more constraints. The number of chickens and rabbits is "int (integer)", and the number of heads = 35, as shown in the figure below.
