An animal shelter spends $5.50 per day to care for each cat and $7.00 per day to care for each dog. Ryan noticed that the shelter spent $52.50 caring for cats and dogs on Monday. Ryan found a record showing that there were a total of 9 cats and dogs on Monday. How many cats were at the shelter on Monday?

Dis the correct answer

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
