An animal shelter spends $4.50 per day to care for each bird and $8.50 per day to care for each cat. Wyatt noticed that the shelter spent $221.50 caring for birds and cats on Wednesday. Wyatt found a record showing that there were a total of 35 birds and cats on Wednesday. How many birds were at the shelter on Wednesday?​
