A farmer buys 100 animals for $100.00. The animals include at least one cow, one pig, and one chicken, but no other kind. If a cow costs $10.00, a pig costs $3.00, and a chicken costs $0.50, how many of each did he buy? Please show me the best way to set this out in Mathematica

This has really helped me, I now have a good Idea of where to start with the assignment, and how to go about it. Thanks for the advice.

A "bottoms up" approach to Mathematica could be to start with numbers (as there are multiple types), move up to lists, then discuss pattern matching as an introduction to rules and functions.
