Answer 2

28 rabbits

Explanation:

From the statement, you can write the following:

d+c+r= 126

d=dogs

c= cats

r= rabits

Then, you have that there are 13 cats and that three fourths of the remaining animals are dogs:

c=13

d=(126-13)*(3/4)= 113*(3/4)= 85

Now, you can isolate r, to find the number of rabbits:

r=126-d-c

r= 126-85-13

r= 28

According to this, the are 28 rabbits.
