Know the Answer?

Kailey Reed · Answer 1

say the food and med cost for a dog is x

food and med cost for a cat would be 2/3x-5

so we can assume:

6 (2/3x-5) + x = 195

4x - 30 + x = 195

5x - 30 = 195

5x = 195

therefore x, the food and med cost for the dog is 195/5 = 39$

i think that's right ...
