X is  the number of dog
y is the number of cats , y=40
25% of x is  25*x /100=25x/100=x/4
<span>and there are 25% more cats than dogs means y+ x/4=x implies 40=(3/4)x
</span>x=160/3=53
so the number of dogs is 53 and the number of cats is 40
the total number is 53+40=93

X - number of dogs,
100%+ 25%= 125%
x * 1.25 = 40
x = 40 : 1.25
x = 32
There are 32 dogs.
In total: 32 + 40 = 72 animals.

Directions: Find each missing measure. please help me find T and U
adoni [48]

Answer:

m∠U = 54°

m∠T = 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle shown is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, the 2 sides and angles that are marked must be congruent:

m∠S = m∠U

m∠S = 54°

m∠U = 54°

All angles in a triangle add up to 180°:

m∠S + m∠U + m∠T = 180°

54° + 54° + m∠T = 180°

108° + m∠T = 180°

m∠T = 72°
