Mrs. Portillo's cat weighs 6 kilograms. Her dog weighs 22 kilograms more than her cat. What is the total weight of her cat and dog?

We already know how much the cat weights so the first step is to find the weight of Mrs. Portillo's dog.

cat = 6 kg

dog = cat + 22 kg

dog = 6kg + 22kg

dog = 28 kg

Weight of the dog and cat = dog + cat

Weight of the dog and cat = 28 kg + 6 kg

Weight of dog and cat = 34 kg

Cat=6

dog=22+6

total kilograms = 6 + (22+6) = 34
