To break it down, if there are 49 dogs total, and

there are 36 more small dogs than large dogs,

you'd subtract 36 from 49. 

By that measure, there are 13 large dogs and 36 small dogs…

so that means the answer is 36 small dogs,

Answer 2

>> Total Dogs = 49

>> Small Dogs = 36 More than large Dogs

Let's Assume Small Dogs as x

So,

>> Small Dogs = 36 + x = 49

>> Small Dogs = x = 49 - 36

>> Small Dogs = 13

Therefore,

13 Small Dogs Have Signed Up to Compet
