The amount of Cute Puppy food needed for the year is 1140 cans.
<h3>Determining the total number of cans that the dogs eat in a year</h3>
The first step in determining the total number of cans needed in year is to calculate the sum of dog food consumed in a week.
8.25 + 15.5 = 23.75 cans
The second step is to determine the total cans the dogs consume in a month
23.75 x 4 = 95
The third second step is to determine the total cans the dogs consume in a year:

Answer: 54
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
replace "a" with "-2" in the g-equation
g(a) = a² - 4a + 42
g(-2) = (-2)² - 4(-2) + 42
= 4 + 8 + 42
= 54
Take the numbers to one side
