We are given the weight of Mia's dog and told to find the weight of Lettie's dog based on the known relationship. Using these given values, we can create the following equation (let "w" represent the total weight of Lettie's dog):
w = 32.6(3.8)
Simplify the right side of the equation:
w = 123.88
We have now proven that Lettie's dog weighs 123.88 lbs.
For this case we can make the following rule of three: 23000 -------> 100% x --------------> 180% Clearing the value of x we have: x = (180/100) * (23000) x = 41400 Answer: you would expect about: a) 41,400 responses
