Lets do some math

quote:
The cannibals in Gtzxla Village were preparing for a party. So Gombo, the chief cook, went to the market to buy some humans to barbecue. The butcher at the market told him that a Chinese cost $59 less than a Mexican. An Indian cost $68 more than a Mexican. Gombo bought 5 of each and paid the butcher $1560. What was the cost of a Mexican?

Here you go:

code:

c=m-59
i=m+68
5c+5m+5i=1560
5(m-59)+5m+5(m+68)=1560
5m-295+5m+5m+340=1560
15m+45=1560
15m=1515
m=1515/15
m=101

A Mexican cost $101.
