Here's the question You must spend buy a 100 animals and spend only $100. And you must buy at least one of each animal.
Cow's= $10 Pigs=$3 Chickens=$.50 How much of each do you buy.


P.S:Show your work, or how you got the answer. Oh this for my brothers Algebra 2 class, and I can't figger it out for some f'n reason, even though I have taken trig. I hate these problems. Thanks for all who help.

I actually just got out of math class like 20 mins ago. But that was technical calculus with analytical geometry 2... we don't really do things like this often.

I haven't been in Calculus since my Freshman year of college (last year), so... I just kinda pulled that out of my ***.
