Who can figure out this riddle?

You have to spend 100$. You have to buy 100 animals.

Sheep- 3.00$ each

cows-10.00$ each

pigs- .50 cents each

Remember you have to spend all 100$ and buy 100 animals. How many of each animal do you buy?

Update:

You have to buy at least one of each animal. Sorry I forgot that!

    1 x sheep = 3

    5 x cows = 50

    94 x pigs = 47

    100 animal and $100

    80 pigs = 80x.50 = 40$

    20 sheep = 20x3 = 60$

    or atleast one of each animal is mandatory?

    102 pigs=51

    4 cows=40

    3 sheep=9

    I'd probably do it the easy way and buy 80 pigs and 20 sheep.

    94 pigs so 94 x .50 = $47.00

    5 cows so 5 x 10.00 = $50.00

    1 sheep $ 3.00

    -------------------

    $100.00

    I would buy nine cows, three sheep, and 200 pigs.

    Nine cows x $10.00 = $90.00

    PLUS

    Three sheep x $3.00

    EQUALS

    $99.00

    AND

    .5 cents x 200 pigs = $1.00

    SO

    $99.00 + $1.00 = $100.00

    Your decimals don't fool me. :) I'm in math allll year.
