I sat here for an over hour with my girlfriend at the other end of the room and we both were not helping each other trying to beat each other on this!. I figured out this can't be done unles you buy a half a cow!.
cows and pigs have to equal the amount spent to the number bought and sheep just fill in the blanks so we get this!.!.!.
3!.5 cows =$35
36 pigs =$ 4!.50
=$39!.50 so far
60!.5 sheep=$60!.5
100 animals for $100
answer 3!.5 cows, 36 pigs, and 60!.5 sheep
Oh man I just read press C above now I feel stupid!. If I would have went a little more in my method I could have got it but I got messed up when I was only off $1 at one point!.
