Q:
Mrs. Portillo's cat weighs 6 kilograms. Her dog weighs 22 kilograms more than her cat. What is the total weight of her cat and dog ?
Accepted Solution
A:
We already know how much the cat weights so the first step is to find the weight of Mrs. Portillo's dog.
cat = 6 kg
dog = cat + 22 kg
dog = 6kg + 22kg
dog = 28 kg
Weight of the dog and cat = dog + cat
Weight of the dog and cat = 28 kg + 6 kg
Weight of dog and cat = 34 kg
