Answer:
There are 32 dogs and 72 animals in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the amount of dogs, you need to set up an equation to solve for the missing variable. Let 'c' be the amount of cats and 'd' be the amount of dogs. We know that there are 40 cats, so c = 40. We also know that there are 25% more cats than dogs, so we can form an equation to express this difference: 1.25d = c, indicating that the number of cats is equal to the total number of dogs, plus an additional 25%. Since we know c = 40, we can set our second equation equal to 40: 1.25d = 40. Using inverse operations, we divide both sides by 1.25 to get d = 32. So, d + c, or 32 + 40 = 72 total animals.
Answer:
I'm pretty sure it's B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2 animals
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of animals=40
Fraction of fish=3/4
=>number of fish=3/4*40=30
Fraction of cats=1/5
=>number of cats=1/5*40=8
Animals which are not cats or fish are=total number of animals-(number of cats + number of fish)
Animals which are not cats or fish=40-(8+30)
40-38
2 animals
