2.50 c+7.50 d=182.50

2.5 c+7.5 d= 182.5

c+3 d=73

c+d=37

2d=36

d=18

c=37-18=19

number of cats=19

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
