The first thing that we have to do is to assign variables to the cat's and the dog's ages. Let us use c to represent the age of the cat and d for the dog's age. So, let's translate the word problem into a mathematical one.

c = d + 3

This is the first equation while the second equation is

(d+3)*d = 54

which becomes 

d^2 +3d -54 = 0

which can be factored into (d-6)(d+9). This gives us two roots which are 6 and -9. However, age is a non-negative number so we will take 6 as the age of Helen's dog. Thus, making Sally's cat 9 years old.

Gas in July is 2.3 times Gas in June
That means Gas in July (252.57) equals 2.3 times gas in June, or “n”
242.57= 2.3 x n and solve for n
Divide both sides by2.3
Calculator gives 105.465
Rounded to nearest HUNDRED is 100

Rounded to nearest HUNDREDTH would be 105.47
Check the answer to see if July gas is 2.3 times June gas
June gas 105.47 x 2.3 is 242.57
So the answer is 105.47 Rounded to nearest hundredth
