In 1999, there were 9860 Great Danes registered with the American Kennel Club. The number of

registered Labrador Retrievers was 6997 more than fifteen times the number of registered Great Danes.

How many registered Labrador Retrievers were there?

154,897

Step-by-step explanation:

Labradors were

6997 MORE than 15 TIME Danes

So, first, what is 15 times Danes?

Given 9860 Danes, fifteen times Danes would be:

9860 * 15 = 147,900

Now, 6997 MORE to that, it would be:

147,900 + 6997 = 154,897

Thus,

There were 154,897 registered Labrador Retrievers
