ok someone at the office needs help with this and i dont have time to figure it out so i need your help...

a farmer needs to buy exactly 100 chickens and spend exactly $100.00
chickens are $.05
roosters are $ 5.00
hens are $1.00

how many of each would he buy?

80 chickens
19 roosters
1 hen

That's a valid solution too.

that's what i suggested and sarah said they had to be at least one of each :-/ oh wellz

[davisionz]

h=(-.05c-5r+100)
r=.2(-.05c-h+100)
c=20(-h-5r+100)

h=hen
r=rooster
c=chicken

you can do the rest lol
