Puzzle 509
If a farmer buys chicken feed for 57c per tonne, pig feed for $1.52 per tonne and cattle feed for 43c per tonne. The feed can only be purchased by the tonne, and part tonnes aren't sold.
How much of each would he have if they had 100 tonnes for $100?
Hint
There are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour.
Answer
Seconds in a week.
Reasoning
There are 60 x 60 x 24 x 7 = 604,800 seconds in a week.
There are 60 x 24 x 365 = 525,600 minutes in a (non-leap) year.
