Answer:

20

Explanation:

So we know that if we combine all of the dogs and cats, we get 25. We also know that there are 4 times more dogs than cats, so we can call cats x, and dogs 4x.

So 4x + x = 25

5x = 25

x=5

There are 5 cats. Now that we know the number of cats , we just need to multiply that by 4, which is 20 dogs.
