Question

In a certain country people own a total of about 352 million fish, cats, and dogs as pets. The number of fish owned is 14 million more than the total number of cats

and dogs owned, and 11 million more cats are owned than dogs. How many of each type of pet do people in this country own?

Answer 1

dogs = 79

dats = 90

fish = 183

Explanation:

let the total number of dogs owned be x

no. of cats owned = x+11

no. of fish owned = x+11+x+14= 2x+25

hence,

2x+25+x+11+x=352

4x=316

x=316/4= 79mil

no. of cats owned = 79 + 11 = 90

no. of fish owned = 2(79)+25=183
