At a local animal shelter, the supplies for each dog generally costs twice as much as the supplies for a cat. we need to care for 164 cats and 24 dogs with a budget of $4240. how much can be spent on each dog?

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

89.50=2.35c+5.50d

If theres 22 dogs and cats in total you can plug in number less than 22 for c(# of cats) and d(# of dogs).

So we try pats numbers 8 cats and 14 dogs so

89.50=2.35(8)+5.50(14)

89.50=18.8+77

89.50=95.8

So pats numbers were wrong so we try different numbers

So i started pluging in numbers from under 22 so i got c is 10 and d is 12 lets try it with the equation

89.50=2.35(10)+5.50(12)

89.50=23.5+66

89.50=89.50 so it works the answer to how many number of dogs and cats is 12 dogs and 10 cats
