There are ferrets and cats at the shelter. How many of the animals are dogs?

Number of dogs in the shelter are 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Given that total animals = 108 and number of ferrets = 1/3 of 108. Find number of ferrets in the shelter.

Number of ferrets = 1/3 of 108 = 1/3 × 108 = 36

Step 2:

Given that of the remaining animals, number of cats = 5/6. Find the remaining animals and the number of cats.

Remaining number of animals = 108 - 36 = 72

Number of cats = 5/6 of 72 = 5/6 × 72 = 60

Step 3:

Find number of dogs in the shelter.

Number of dogs = 108 - (36 + 60) = 108 - 96 = 12
