Paws at play made a total of $1234 grooming 22 dogs. paws at play charges $43 to groom each small dog and $75 for each large dog. a. write a system of equations that can be used to determine the number of small and large dogs that were groomed. b. how many large dogs did paws at play groom?

Answer (a):

s + l = 22 ... (i)

43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)

Answer (b)

9 large dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paws at Play made a total of $1234 grooming 22 dogs.

Paws at Play charges $43 to groom each small dog and;

$75 for each large dog.

Let the number of small dogs be 's'

And the number of large dogs be 'l'

A system of equations will be:

s + l = 22 ... (i)

43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)

Solving this set of simultaneous equations by elimination, we simply multiply (i) by 43 to get;

43s + 43l = 946 ... (i)

43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get;

32l = 288 , l = = 9

So there are 9 large dogs.
