Pet Shop at the mall has a combination of 15 cats and dogs for sale. There are four times as many cats as dogs. How many cats does Pet Shop have for sale?

Pet Shop:
c = how many cats
d= how many dogs
c/d = 4, therefore c=4d

Cats plus Dogs counts to 15.
c+d=15
4d+d=15
5d=15
d=3, meaning the pet shop has 3 dogs for sale. By difference, 12 cats.
