The number of dogs in the animal shelter which comprise of cats, dogs, and rabbits is 84 dogs.

Equation

Total animals = 5 × 47

= 235

  • Number of rabbits = 1/2(d + 20) - 5
  • Number of cats = d + 20
  • Number of dogs = d

235 = d + (d + 20) + 1/2(d + 20) - 5

235 = d + d + 20 + 1/2d + 10 - 5

235 = 2 1/2d + 25

235 - 25 = 2 1/2d

210 = 2 1/2d

d = 210 ÷ 2 1/2

d = 210 ÷ 5/2

= 210 × 2/5

= 420/5

d = 84 dogs
