    the answer is 18 birds and 5 cats

    Step-by-step explanation:

    the easiest way i did this was that i used a calculator and kept subtracting 8.5 untill i reached a number that was completely divisable by 5, i subtracted 8.5 five times which got the total down to 90$ and since each bird is 5$ you can just divide which means there was a total of 18 bird and 5 cats on Tuesday
