    A butcher goes to the market with $100 cash. He has to buy exactly 100 animals. There are cows, geese and chicken for sale.A cow costs $15, a goose is $1 and a chicken costs $0.25. He has to buy at least one of each animal and has to spend all his money.

    The butcher buys

    3 Cows => 3 * 15$ = 45$
    41 Geese => 41 * 1$ = 41$
    56 Chickens => 56 * 0.25$ = 14$

    So the total Money spent = 45$ + 41$ + 14$ = 100$
    and the No. of animals bought = 3 + 41 + 56 = 100
