To meet the collector's requirements, let ( x ) be the number of blue parakeets, ( y ) the number of green parakeets, and ( z ) the number of yellow parakeets. The equations to solve are:

  1. ( x + y + z = 100 ) (total number of parakeets)
  2. ( 10x + 3y + 0.5z = 1000 ) (total cost in dollars)

Given that he wants at least one of each type, we can start with ( x = 1 ), ( y = 1 ), and then solve for ( z ) and adjust accordingly until all conditions are satisfied. One possible solution is ( x = 90 ), ( y = 9 ), and ( z = 1 ).
