Answer:$104.5

Step-by-step explanation:

cats=c

Dogs=d

2c+3d=455

d=82

Substitute d=82 in 2c+3d=455

2c+3(82)=455

2c+246=455

Collect like terms

2c=455-246

2c=209

Divide both sides by 2

2c/2=209/2

c=104.5

1 cat cost $104.5

The ratio of pens to pencils in Mrs. Bosworth's desk is 4:1. What does this mean?

anzhelika [568]

If there are 4 pens there will be 1 pencil, if there is 1 pencil there will be 4 pens
If the ratio is factored to a number, let's say 3, then there will be 12 pens for every 3 pencils
