Good evening everyone,

I received a riddle from a friend and he said I would never find the answer, let me tell you:

A farmer gives his son €100 and tells him to buy 100 animals with this money. Knowing that a sheep costs €0.10, a cow €1, and a horse €5

How many of each type of animal should be bought to spend exactly €100 and have 100 animals?

I am pretty sure that he only needs to buy one horse, but maybe I am wrong.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Safari 536.5

Good evening

Easy

There are 18 horses at €5 = €90
There are 2 cows at €1 = €2
There are 80 sheep at €0.10 = €8

We have 18 + 2 + 80 = 100 animals
We have €90 + €2 + €8 = €100

P.S: Ask your friend where he finds sheep at €0.10, I think I’ll switch to sheep farming, lol.

P.S2: Make sure he knows the answer before you tell him.

Actually, I found the answer 10 minutes after posting my message, the person who gave me the riddle lied to me, since she told me there was only one horse...

I bet she doesn’t know the answer.

In any case, thank you.
