We can let the number of cats sold in March = c and the number of dogs sold in March = 2c

Thus the number of dogs sold in April = 4c and the number of cats sold in April = 3c.

We can now create the equation:

c + 2c + 4c + 3c = 500

10c = 500

c = 50

Thus, 2c = 100 dogs were sold in March.

Answer: B
