Answer:
They have 83 dogs and 50 birds.
There are 133 animals in total in the shelter.
Step-by-step explanation:
So let's call the dogs D and the birds B.
D = 25% + B
What ever the amount of animals, the total for D must always be 25% more than B.
To get 100% of the animals, B must equal 37.5% and D must equal 62.5%.
The way I worked this out was:
100% - 25%= 75%
75% divided by 2= 37.5%
37.5% + 25%= 62.5%
And just to check
37.5% + 62.5% = 100%
So to work out 100%:
37.5% = 50
divide both by 37.5 to get 1%
1% = 1.333333
time both by 62.5 to get 62.5%
62.5% = 83.333313
We'll round that answer because I'm pretty sure they don't have a .333313th of a dog.
So D = 62.5% = 83
They have 83 dogs and 50 birds.
Phew! That was the hard part. Now onto something wayyy easier.
To get the total number of animals in the shelter we just do 83 + 50, which is 133.
There are 133 animals in total in the shelter.
