Answer:

98 cats and 19 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

cat = c

dog = d

The animal shelter currently has a total of 117 animals

c + d = 117

c = 117 - d

the number of cats is 3 more than 5 times the number of dogs

c = 3 + 5d

subtitute c

117 - d = 3 + 5d

117 - 3 = 5d + d

114 = 6d

6d = 114

d = 114/6 = 19

so, the cat is 117-19 = 98

Annette [7]

Answer:

300 girls were there in the gym.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls was 4:3, after 160 boys left the gym, the ratio became 4:5.

Now, to find the number of girls in the gym.

The girls in the gym does not left, their quantity is same before and after.

So, we multiply the both ratios to make the girls ratio same:

4:3 × 5 = 20:15

4:5 × 3 = 12:15

Now, <em>we find the units of the ratio</em>.

<em>The ratio of boys dropped down by 160</em>:

20 - 12 = 8 units.

160 = 8 units

Now, dividing both sides by 8 we get:

20 = 1 unit

So, 1 unit = 20.

Now, girls = 15 units

So, 15 × 20 = 300.

Therefore, 300 girls were there in the gym.
