Problema Solution
You have exactly $100.00 to spend. You must get 100 animals. The chicks cost $0.10 each. The pigs cost $2.00 each. The sheep cost $5.00 each. You must get some of each animal. How many of each animal can you get?
Answer provided by our tutors
we have three variables and two equations
Let Pig = p ,sheep = s , chick = c
AS per total animal equation
P + S +C = 100
as per cost equation
2*P + 5 * S + 0.1 * C = $100
let number of Chick = 60
Therefore
P + S = 100 - 60 = 40
And 2 P + 5 S = 100 - (60 * 0.1) = 94
solving these two equation
we get
P = 32 , S = 8 , C = 60
pig = 32 , sheep = 8 , chick = 60
