The combined amount of cats sold is 117.

Ratio expresses the relationship between two variables. It shows the frequency of which that one value is contained within another variable.

The ratio of Siamese cats to house cats = 4 : 9

Number of Siamese cats = 36

Number of combined cats = c

This equation can be formed using the above information:

4/13 x c = 36

4c = 468

c = 468 / 4

c = 117
