I provided the following answer in a similar question that I answered earlier: 

Not really. Lets say you have 19.8% of x ingredient, 20.7% of y ingredient, 30.6% of m ingredient ad 28.9% of k ingredient. For this medicine, the values would be rounded of to 20%, 21%, 31% and 29%....which adds up to 101%. So by rounding of to he nearest whole percent, you get a total percentage of more than 100%. This would be seen in the other medicines used in 'the table'. The fact that the total percentage for each one would add up to different values each time and not be constant makes the comparison invalid because the conditions being compared would be different. 

You have failed to provide the actual table, so I tried to do my best to come up with example figures to help you answer the question using the figures you have.

For example, exc. 15.

x + y = 10 and 6/x = 9/y; You need y!

=> x = 10 -y and 9x = 6y => 9(10-y) = 6y => 90 - 9y = 6y => 15y = 90 => y = 6.

An animal shelter spends three dollars per day to take care for each bird and seven dollars per day take care for each cat Alexa
NikAS [45]

Answer:

There were 16 birds  at the shelter on Wednesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cats and birds on Wednesday = 34

let the number of birds on Wednesday = b

Then number of cats = (34 -b)

The rate of taking care of each bird in shelter = $3

The rate of taking care of each cat in shelter = $7

Total amount spent by shelter on Wednesday = $174

So, according to the question

b x ($3)  +  (34 -b) ($7) =  $ 174

or,  3b + 238 - 7b = 174

or, 4b = 64

⇒ b = 64/4 = 16

Hence, the number of birds in shelter on Wednesday = b = 16

and  Number of cats = 34 - 16 = 18
