The Pet Store's Cats and Dogs Sale

The Pet Store's Inventory

The pet store has 4 times as many cats for sale as dogs. They have a total of 35 pets for sale.

Let's denote the number of dogs as x, so the number of cats for sale would be 4x.

Calculating the Number of Cats

To find the total number of pets, we can set up an equation:

x + 4x = 35

5x = 35

x = 7
