A riddle that will stump you!?

[Mike L]

I need help on this riddle...

Back then, a lot of things were cheaper. Cows were $10 for 1, sheep were $1 for 1 and hens were 8 for $1. A farmer buys at least one of each, and only uses $100, but he also only gets 100 animals. How many animals of each did he get?

 

[Layla]

2 of each...and then they made babies

DUH he got 100 sheep.

 

[•Yamiha•]

100 sheep, or 10 cows, or 800 hens

 

[Beyond Bleach]

He got all of them and ate them

 

[Sarath K]

7 cows=$70
21 sheep=$21
72 hens=$9

It's not a riddle, it's a math question. start by buying one of each and adjust accordingly using the remainder for sheep (an equal 1 to 1 ratio). If under 100 buy more hens, if over buy more cows. The balance is at:

7 Cows
72 Hens
21 sheep.

He got 100 sheep costing him $100 right???

 

[Leah]

80 hens = $10
20 sheep = $20
7 cows = $70

SCORE!!
