Question

the ratio of dogs to cats in the neighborhood was 3 to 7. If a total of 210 dogs and cats were in the neighborhood, how many cats were there?

Answers

The above answer is clearly wrong, since the total animals is only 210, not just the dogs.

d/c = 3/7
7d = 3c

d+c = 210
3d+3c = 630
3d+7d = 630
10d = 630
d = 63
so, c=147

or,

3x+7x = 210
10x = 210
x = 21
dogs = 3x = 63
cats = 7x = 147
