Brain Teasers (Optional)

John was instructed by his mother to buy
100 chickens exactly using $100.
He must spend all the money on the chickens.

The prices of the different types of chickens were:

Hens - $6 each
Roosters - $3 each
Chicks - 10 cents each


How many chicks, hens and roosters did John buy in all?

Good luck to those who are brave enough to attempt this very challenging question. :)
