Dr. Fritz, a cat and dog veterinarian, examined 40% cats this week at his clinic. If Dr. Fritz examined 22 cats, how many cats and dogs did he examine altogether?
A) 44
B) 55
C) 60
D) 66

B. 55

Step-by-step explanation:

First write an equation to represent the situation.

x=total number of animals he saw this week

40%=0.4

Then solve for x

0.4x/0.4=22/0.4

x=55

He saw a total of 55 cats and dogs this week.

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
