There are a total of 20 dogs and cats at a kennel. if the ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats at the kennel is 3 to 2, how many cats are at the kennel?

Number of cats in the kennel = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

c denote the number of cats and

d be the number of dogs

Given that the ratio of dogs to cats is 3 to 2

So,

d:c=3:2

Sum of ratio is 5.

And the total number of cats and dogs is 20.

So in order to find the number of cats, following formula will be used:

So, there are 8 cats in the kennel ..

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130
