3 Cows @ $15 = $45
41 Geese @ $1 = $41
56 Chickens @ $.25 = $14
Therefore;
Animals = 3 + 41 + 56 = 100
Cost = $45 + $41 + $14 = 100
There is only one answer.
There is only one answer and it's 3 cows, 41 geese and 56 chickens. The puzzle states that the butcher must buy 100 animals.Hey Riddle Masters!

"A butcher goes to the market with $100 cash. He has to buy exactly 100 animals. There are cows, geese, and chickens for sale. A cow costs $15, a goose costs $1, and a chicken costs $0.25. He has to buy at least one of each animal and has to spend all his money. What does the butcher buy?" |
" So, there are a lot of possible solutions to this problem, like 3 cows, 41 geese, and 56 chickens, and 6 Cows, 5 Geese, and 20 Chickens. As long as the combination of animals adds up to $100 and includes at least one of each type of animal, it's a valid answer! Congratulations to those who got it correct. Scroll down to the bottom of this newsletter ....."
I'm sorry to say Vella, that you are wrong on this one. He has to buy exactly one hundred animals for his one hundred dollars, and so your example of 6 cows, 5 geese and 20 chickens is nowhere near the mark.
There has to be exactly 100 animals! So the only correct answer is 3 cows, 41 geese and 56 chickens.Hey Riddle Masters!

The solution must also be the purchase of exactly 100 animals, so any answer that totals $100 is not correct unless it also totals 100 animalsHey Riddle Masters!

Thanks, I did not submit my answer as I only achieved the $ value but not the number of animals. I was 2 animals short of 100.
