Question 77281
This year, the total number of dogs and cats sold by the Animal Adoption Agency was 1216. Last year, 420 more cats and double the number of dogs were sold for a total of 2024. How many of each were sold this year?
---------
Let number of dogs be "d" ; Let number of cats be "c"
EQUATIONS:
d + c = 1216
2d+c+420 = 2024
---------
c=1216-d
Substitute to get:
2d+1216-d+420=2024
d = 388 dogs
c=1216-d = 828 cats
==========
