Question

I need help! is due today. ;An animal shelter houses only cats and dogs, and there are 25% more cats than dogs. If there are 40 cats, how many dogs are there? Please be clear

Answer 1

If there are 40 cats, and there are 25% more cats than dogs, then all we have to do is set up an equation where:
0.25D+1D =40. Solve for D, and you get 1.25D=40. Divide and you get 32.

There are 32 dogs and 40 cats
