Question

If I have 100 dollars to spend on 100 chickens but a hen is 1 dollar and a chick is .05 cents and a rooster is 5 dollars how many chickens would I get each only using 100 dollars

Answer 1

Your wording is awfully confusing, I do apologize if this is incorrect. I surmised by your wording that you are solely getting chickens? the answer is 2,000 chicks per 100 dollars.


`100 / .05 = 2000`
The way I arrived at that answer is: 0.05 x 20 = 1 (the one represents the dollar amount for 20 chickens). Now you can go this route for the answer: $100 x 20 (chicks per dollar) = 2,000.

and to check your answer, you can multiply 2,000 by .05, your answer will be $100.
