Rover eats 3/4 can of cat food in a day.......... given

in 60 days it will consume 60 x 3/4 cans = 45 cans of cat food

3 cans cost $5 and a pack contains 3 cans

45 cans is equivalent to 45/3 = 15 packs

15 packs cost ...... 15 x $5 = $75

So it will cost $ 75 to feed Rover for 60 days

Bobo eats 1/2 of a can of cat food per day

in 60 days it will consume 60 x 1/2 cans = 30 cans of cat food

3 cans cost $5 and a pack contains 3 cans

30 cans are equivalent to 30/3 = 10 packs

10 packs will cost ...... 10 x $5 = $50

So it will cost $50 to feed Bobo for 60 days

In total, in 60 days it will cost $75 +$ 50 = $125 to feed both cats in 60 days
