There is a total of 5421 cows and goats in Buhari's farm.
If 3/4 of the cows and 60% of the goats are to be used for Ramadan celebration, there will be an equal number of cows and goats left.
How many cows and how many goats are there in the farm

Thinking

C + G = 5421 {C; Cows, G; Goats}

After using 0.75 of the cows and 0.6 of goats, we have equal numbers of cows and goats left.

Meaning we have 0.25 of cows and 0.4 of goats left

Since they are equal, 0.25C = 0.4G
Therefore, C = 1.6G

Now put that into the first equation up there {i.e C + G = 5421} and you get 3336 cows and 2085 goats.

I should be right.
