Step-by-step explanation:

Jo has a gerbil and a German Shepherd. The German Shepherd eats 14 times as much as the gerbil. Altogether they eat 225 ounces of dry food per week.

let gerbil eat a ounces of food

Gerbil eats = a

shepherd eats = 14 × a

Altogether they ate 225 ounces per week , The expression can be written as

a + 14 × a = 225

a + 14a = 225

15a = 225

divide both sides by 15

a = 225/15

a = 15

The German shepherd eats 14 × 15 = 210  ounces per week.
