Question

One of my dogs is 25 pounds heavier than the other and the two together weigh 137 pounds. How much does the heavier dog weigh?

Answer 1

Answer:

The heavier dog weighs 81 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 2 dogs that weigh 137 pounds together

137 minus the extra 25 from the heavier dog

137 - 25 = 112

112 ÷ 2 = 56

now you have the weight of the lighter dog, 56 pounds

now take that 56 pounds and add 25

56 + 25 = 81
