X=hours master worked
y=hours apprentice worked
62x+40y=492
if master worked 3hours more than apprntice
x=3+y
sub 3+y for x
62(3+y)+40y=492
expand
186+62y+49y=492
186+102y=492
minus 186 both sides
102y=306
divide both sides by 102
y=3
sub back
x=3+y
x=3+3
x=6
master electrician worked 6 hours

The combined amount of cats sold is 117.
Ratio expresses the relationship between two variables. It shows the frequency of which that one value is contained within another variable.
The ratio of Siamese cats to house cats = 4 : 9
Number of Siamese cats = 36
Number of combined cats = c
This equation can be formed using the above information:
4/13 x c = 36
4c = 468
c = 468 / 4
c = 117
