Step-by-step explanation:
Number of dog food packages bought by Byron is 300
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given number of bird food packages = b. Find the number of packages for the other animal foods.
Number of hamster food packages = b.
Number of dog food packages = 4b
Number of cat food packages = 1/2 of 4b = 2b
Total food packages = 600
⇒ b + b + 4b + 2b = 600
⇒ 8b = 600
⇒ b = 600/8 = 75
- Step 2: Calculate the amount of dog food
∴ 4b = 4 × 75 = 300
