268 cows plus 335 calves

Explanation:

x number of cows that have only one calf
(268-x) is number of cows that have two calves.

#x + (268-x)times2 = 335#

#x + 536 - 2x = 335#

#-x = 335-536#

#x = 201#

Therefore, there are 67 cows that have two calves each.

The fraction of cows that have only one calve:

#(100times201)/268 = 75# percent.

#25%# of cows have two calves.
