Apet store has a total of 60 dogs and cats. there are 10 fewer cats than dogs. let c represent the number of cats and d represent the number of dogs. the following system of equations represents the situation: d−10=c d+c=60 how many cats and dogs are in the pet store?

Total number of dogs and cats in the pet store are 60

So this gives us our first equation:

...............(1)

.................(2)

There are 10 fewer cats than dogs.

So this gives us the second equation:

.............(2)

Now let us use substitution method here.

Plugging the value of c from equation (2) in equation (3)

this gives d=25

plugging this in equation 2 to find c

c=15

Answer : The pet store has 15 cats and 25 dogs.
