Answer:

Total number of cat and dogs = 32

Explanation:

Missing:

Total number of puppies = 18

Puppies percent = 36%

Find:

Total number of cat and dogs

Computation:

Total number of Animals = 18 (100/36)

Total number of Animals = 50

Total number of cat and dogs = Total number of Animal - Total number of puppies

Total number of cat and dogs = 50 - 18

Total number of cat and dogs = 32
