Question

Dr. Fritz, a cat and dog veterinarian, examined 40% cats this week at his clinic. If Dr. Fritz examined 22 cats, how many cats and dogs did he examine altogether?
A) 44
B) 55
C) 60
D) 66

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 55

Step-by-step explanation:

First write an equation to represent the situation.

x=total number of animals he saw this week

40%=0.4

0.4x=22

Then solve for x

0.4x/0.4=22/0.4

x=55

He saw a total of 55 cats and dogs this week.
