Question

Mrs. Chen has three dogs: one small, one medium, and one large. She buys dog bones at Jay's, where small bones cost 8 cents each, medium bones cost 13 cents and large bones cost 19 cents each. Mrs. Chen spent 85 cents for 6 dog bones. If she bought all three sizes, how many bones of each size did she buy? please show work

Answer 1

# of small bones = X
# of medium bones = Y
# of large bones = Z

X+Y+Z = 6
8X+13Y+19z = 85

@RagingSquirrel Please don't give out answers w/o work, especially when it's wrong (8+13+19 = 40, 40x2=80, not 85)

Answer 2

yes, it is not 85
