Answer:

11 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

I did trial and error.

I started with 16 cats and 17 dogs, so:

(16x$2.5) + (17x$4.5) = $116.5

The value is too low which means that they spent more money on the expensive side (i.e., dogs).

I ended up with 11 cats and 22 dogs, so:

(11x$2.5) + (22x$4.5) = $126.5

My name is Ann [436]

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x tetras

3 goldfish

5 platies.

the total number of fishh in the bowl is x + 3 + 5

The probability of removing a gold fish is equal to the number of gold fish divided by the total number of fish, this is:

p = 3/(x + 3 + 5) = 1/3

3 = (1/3)(x + 3 + 5) = x/3 + 1 + 5/3

9 = x + 3 + 5

x = 9 - 8 = 1

then wemust have that x = 1

because 1 + 3 + 5 = 9

and 3/9 = 1/3
