Today’s Problem:

You need to buy decorations for a celebration. You are given exactly $100 to spend. You need to spend the entire $100, and you need to get 100 decorations. There are three types to choose from. One costs $.50, another costs $9.50, and the third costs $5.50. How many of each decoration must you purchase without considering sales tax? (This one requires algebra and a little extra time to figure out!)
