Can anyone figure this out?

Let's say, you're a farmer and you have $100 dollars. You need to purchase EXACTLY 100 head of livestock. You need to buy some cows, some sheep as well as some goats.

Well, cows are $10 ea., while sheep are $3 ea, and finally goats are $0.50 ea. You need to spend every last cent of the $100 and NOT have any money left over. You need exactly 100 head of livetstock, no more, no less and at least one of each animal.

How many of each animal do you need?

ok let see if I remeber my math.

Cow 5 X $10.00 = $50
Sheep 1 X $ 3.00 = $3
Goats 94 X $0.50 = $47
100 $100

Easy!!
94 goats = 47.00
5 cows = 50.00
1 sheep = 3.00

Nice puzzle! Without the one of each clause, 20 sheep and 80 goats works too.

my school math teacher would say

"you're just solving the equation ax+by +cz = d, such that x+y+z = d"

meanwhile I was drawing helicopters in my math book
