Let D be dogs and C be cats
<em>dogs, d, is initially five less than twice the number of cats, c</em>
D + 5 = 2C
<em>If she decides to add three more of each, the ratio of cats to dogs will be</em>
D + 8 = 2C + 3
<em>Could Bea's Pet Shop initially have 15 cats and 20 dogs?</em>

As the fertilizer comes in bags of 50 pound then you need

Since you can not buy 9.2 bags then we round up to the next whole number.
Finally you need 10 bags of fertilizer
Given data:
The numbers given are 12 and 3.
The 12 and 3 are both positive integers in which 12 is greater than 3.
The 12 and 3 both lie on the right side of the number line in which 12 comes after 3, so 12 is bigger number than 3.
The 12 and 3 are both natural as well as rational number, 12 is nine more than 3.
