An animal shelter spends $4.00 per day to care for each cat and $5.50 per day to care for each dog. ashley noticed that the shelter spent $156.50 caring for cats and dogs on monday. ashley found a record showing that there were a total of 32 cats and dogs on monday. how many cats were at the shelter on monday?

There were 13 cats and 19 dogs in the shelter on Monday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cats be x.

Let the number of dogs be y.

Given:

Total Number of cats and dogs on Monday = 32

Now Total number of  cats and dogs are equal to sum of number of cats and number of dogs.

Hence Framing in the equation form we get;

Also Given:

Cost to care each cat per day = $4.00

Cost to care each dog per day = $5.50

Total Money Spent on Monday = $156.50

But Total Money spent depends upon the sum of Cost to care each cat per day multiplied with number of Cats and Cost to care each dog per day multiplied with number of dogs.

Hence equation can be framed as;

Now Multiplying equation 1 by 4 we get;

Now Subtracting equation 3 from equation 2 we get;

Now Substituting the value of y in equation 1 we get

Hence There were 13 cats and 19 dogs in the shelter on Monday.

answer:

it is general formula that is used to write value to its excet position

a11 a12 a13

a21 a22 a23

it is the example of order 2 by 3 matrix in this

a11 means value occur in 1 st row 1st column

a12 means value occurs in 1st row 2nd column

a13 means value occur in 1st row and 3rd column

a21 means value occurs in 2nd row and 1st column

a22 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 2nd column

a23 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 3rd column
