Another Riddle

CDMAGS

You have $100.00 to spend. You have to buy 100 head of livestock. You must buy at least one of each. A Cow cost $10.00, Sheep cost $3.00, and a Pig cost $.50.

I don't think this is a riddle as much as a mathematic word problem.

100 = 10c + 3s + .5p

If you wanted to spend the entire amount, you could buy 5 cows, 1 sheep, and 94 pigs.

Cheers.

Edit: Of course, the thrifty spender would buy one cow, one sheep, and ninety-eight pigs. The remaining $38 would go into a rainy day fund, or more realistically, a bottle of whiskey.
