There are 36 dogs in the shelter.
<h3>How to find the total number of dogs in the shelter?</h3>
The ratio of dogs to cats in the shelter is given as 9:15.
The total number of dogs and cats is given as 96.
Let the constant of proportionality be x.
The total number of dogs is 9x and the total number of cats is 15x.
This means that:
9x + 15x = 96
24x = 96
x = 4.
The total number of dogs in the shelter = 9 × 4
= 36
Therefore, we have found that there are 36 dogs in the shelter.
