You can put this solution on YOUR website!
p is price of wooden cat.
100-4%2Ap-3%28p%2B3%29=7

100-4p-3p-9=7
100-9-7-7p=0
100-16=7p
7p=84
p=12-------price of cat.

This means price of wooden dog is $15.

Is $25 enough to buy two wooden dogs? NO.
Two dogs cost 30 dollars.
Harry has left only $7 and this is still less than to buy either any wooden dog or any wooden cat.
