Problem # 5

The Budgie Problem

A bird collector wants to buy 100 budgies and wants to spend exactly $100. Blue budgies cost $10 each, green budgies cost $3 each and yellow budgies cost 50 cents each ($0.50). The collector wants to purchase at least one budgie of each colour. How many blue, green, and yellow budgies could he buy?


Remember.. key words (Exactly $100)
