2) 5s + 3c = 99

c = 2s

11s = 99

s = 9

c = 18

3) 10c + 3p + .5s = 100

many possible answers to that equation, for example

9 cows, 3 pigs, 2 sheep

9 cows, 2 pigs, 8 sheep

9 cows, 1 pig, 14 sheep

4) 6r + 3y + .1b = 100

again, many possible answers

you must buy at least 10 blue, because you can only get to $99 with the other two
