Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Your question isn't complete but I guess that you want to find the population of the cats in Year 1. This will be represented by x. Therefore,

x + (25% × x) = 60

x + (0.25 × x) = 60

x + 0.25x = 60

1.25x = 60

x = 60/1.25

x = 48

The population of cats in year 1 is 48
