4 cows $60 30 geese $30 40 chickens $10
 
3 cows costing $45
41 geese costing $41
56 chickens costing $14

A total of 100 animals costing $100 in total
 
This can be worked out arriving at many different answers ….

I just love these, I can use algebra (my favourite subject at school)


1 cow @$15 each
84 geese @$1 each
4 chickens @$0.25
oops only 89 animals, not the 100 required
 
Easy as…
3 Cows @ $15 = $45
41 Geese @ $1 = $41
56 Chickens @ $.25 = $14
Therefore;
Animals = 3 + 41 + 56 = 100
Cost = $45 + $41 + $14 = 100

The butcher buys 7 cows, 1 goose, and 92 chickens. This adds up to exactly 100 animals, costing him $100.
