Answer:

   24 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday. Then the cost of care for the 41 animals is ...

  5b +7.5(41 -b) = 247.50

  -2.5b +307.50 = 247.50 . . . . . simplify

  -2.5b = -60 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 307.50

  b = 24 . . . . . . . . . divide by -2.5

The number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday was 24.
