1 Rabbit was going towards the river
Each 1 elephant saw 3 monkeys going towards the river, thus total amount of monkeys going to towards the river is 3 times number of elephants which is 9.
Number of monkeys
= 3 x 9
= 27
Each 1 monkey has 2 tortoise as in the question it mentioned 1 monkey has 1 tortoise on each hand, assuming the monkey is walking on 2 feet he has 2 hands to hold 2 tortoise. So number of tortoise would be 2 times number of monkeys.
Number of tortoise
= 2 x 27
= 54
The question never mentioned that the elephants are going towards the river, it only mentioned that the rabbit saw 9 elephants WHILE going towards the river, and the elephants only saw monkeys GOING towards the river, therefore the elephants should not be included in the final answer.
Number of animals going towards the river
= 1 rabbit + 27 monkeys + 54 tortoise
= 82 animals
Hope you understand the explanation! (:
