Answer:
It is given Kendrick’s kennel has 2 spots for cats for every 7 spots for dogs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Kendrick'a kennel has 2x spots for cats .
So Kendrick will have 7x spots for dogs.
Total number of spots for cats and dogs = 2x+7x=9x.
If he has total of 144 spots for both cats and dogs then .
9x=144
Dividing both sides by 9
x=16.
Number of spots for cats= 2x=2(16)=32
Number of spots for dogs = 7x=7(16)=112.
Number of spots dogs have more than sats = 112-32=80
Kendrick kennel has 80 more spots for dogs than cats .
