You've been given $100 and told to buy 100 candles for a party. The first type of candle costs $0.50, the second type of candle costs $5.50, and the third costs $9.50. You must buy at least one of each type of candle, spend $100, and buy 100 candles in total!
How many of each type are purchased?
Good Luck!
How about : 94 @ $.50 , 1 @ $5.50 and 5 @ $9.50
$47.00
$ 5.50
$47.50
______
$100.00
