With $100 I must buy 100 pets. Dogs cost $15, cats cost $1, and mice cost $0.25. How many of each pet do I buy

Posted on March 7, 2010 by admin

I have $100 and I must buy 100 pets using the money I have. Dogs cost $15 each, cats cost $1 each, and mice cost 25 cents each. I can not use more than $100 and I can’t buy over or less than 100 pets. It has to be exact. I have to buy at least 1 of each pet. How many of each pet do I buy?

Well it doesn’t say you can’t use less than $100 so buy 1 dog, 1 cat, and 98 rats

    Is this a homework question? There are dozens of possibilities.

    1 dog, 4 mice, 84 cats
    2 dogs, 4 mice, 69 cats
    3 dogs, 4 mice, 54 cats
    4 dogs, 4 mice, 39 cats
    5 dogs, 4 mice, 24 cats
    6 dogs, 4 mice, 9 cats
    1 dog, 8 mice, 83 cats
    2 dogs, 8 mice, 68 cats
    and the list can go on and on.
