Question 121651: Shumarra exercises four dogs. Bing, Muskie, Cowboy,and Teddy. Teddy is 5 pounds heavier than Muskie. Cowboy is 8 pounds lighter than Bing, who is twice as heavy as Muskie. If Teddy weighs 25 pounds, what does each of the other dogs weigh?
Answer by jainenderkapoor(61) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Teddy = Muskie + 5
so Muskie = Teddy - 5 = 25 - 5 = 20 pounds
Bing = 2* Muskie = 2*20 = 40 pounds
Cowboy is 8 pounds lighter than Bing = 40 - 8 = 32 pounds



Hope the solution is clear to you. If you have any doubt you can contact me at jainenderkapoor@gmail.com I am also available for Online Tutoring at very reasonable rates.
