Answer 1

Cats: 28; Dogs: 13

Explanation:

54-26=28

48-35=13

54+48=102

102-61=41

28+13=41

Answer 2

28 cats and 13 dogs

Explanation:

To find each answer, we just have to complete the table.

We know that there are 54 cats in total, and 26 belong to 8th grade. So, 7th grade would be 54-26=28.

Also, we know that there are 48 dogs in total, if 35 belong to 8th grade, then 7th grade would be 48-35=13.

Therefore, 7th grade students have 28 cats, 13 dogs, and 41 pets in total. Therefore, the right choice is the second one.
