Unfortunately, he had a few bugs in the software which made it so he couldn't tell the difference between certain species of fabiroo. However, he claims it's not a big deal because you're a math genius and can figure out the individual populations with the data he's collected. It just requires a bit of algebra.
He's put the populations he was able to count in the table below. When he tried to count the number of sucker-footed fabiroos, he accidentally also counted the river fabiroos so he only knows that the total number of sucker-footed and river fabiroos is 45. Likewise, he only knows that the total number of cave and river fabiroos is 60. Finally, he was able to determine that the number of cave and sucker-footed fabiroos is the same as the number of river fabiroos.
Can you figure out the populations of the last three species? And do any of them need your help to avoid extinction?
Fabiroo | Population |
---|---|
tree | 120 |
mountain | 80 |
bamboo | 40 |
giant | 30 |
cave | ? |
sucker-footed | ? |
river | ? |
