    Answer:$104.5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    cats=c

    Dogs=d

    2c+3d=455

    d=82

    Substitute d=82 in 2c+3d=455

    2c+3 (82) = 455

    2c+246=455

    Collect like terms

    2c=455-246

    2c=209

    Divide both sides by 2

    2c/2=209/2

    c=104.5

    1 cat cost $104.5
