    This is the concept of algebra;

    let the number of treats be x;

    Total amount spent = (cost of dog food) + (cost of treaties)

    Total cost=$76.82

    Cost of dog food=$47.54

    Total cost of treaties given that each cost $ 2.44 will be:

    2.44*x=2.44x

    therefore:

    76.82=47.54+2.44x

    2.44x=76.82-47.54

    2.44x=29.28

    x=29.28/2.44

    x=12

    therefore there were 12 treats

    To find the answer first subtract $47.54 from the total (76.82-47.54 = 29.28) Then divide the remaining money, 29.28 by the cost of one dog treat, $2.44. 29.28/2.44 = 12. Joseph purchased 12 dog treats. 12 times 2.44 is 29.28, plus the bag of dog food is 47.54, which totals 76.82.
