He purchased some basset hounds for $50 each and twice as many black cats for $14 each. If Nicholas spent a total of &624, how many seet hounds and how many black cats did Nicholas purchase?

Answer 1

Hi Destiny,

I used an empirical approach by trying 10 hound and 20 cats which cost $780.

Then I reduced the hounds number by 2. 8 hounds and 16 cats which cost $624. The required number.
