each, and chickens were $.50 each. How many of each did she buy?
S + P + H = 100
10S + 2P + .5H = 100
TWO SOLUTIONS:
1 sheep 1×$10 = $10
27 pigs 27×$2 = $54
72 hens .5×72 = $36
----------------------
100 animals = $100
4 sheep 4×$10 = $40
8 pigs 8×$2 = $16
88 hens .5×88 = $44
----------------------
100 animals = $100
