Question

There are 49 dogs signed up for a dog show. There are 36 more small dogs than the large dogs. How many small dogs have signed up to compete?

This question comes directly from a second grader's math homework.​

Answer 1

${\huge{\underline{\boxed{\red{\mathcal{Answer}}}}}}$

So, let the number of large dogs be x.

No of small dogs = x + 39.

So,

x + x + 39 = 49

2x = 49 - 39

2x = 10

x = 5.

Number of small dogs is 39+5 => 44.
