An animal shelter has 5 times as many cats as it has dogs. There are 75cats at the shelter

Answer: 15 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

75 / 5 = 15

15 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dogs be x

number of cats be y

5 times the number of cats = number of dogs

y = x*5

Since y = 75

75 = 5x

Bring 5 to the other side n divide

x = 75/5

= 15
