So, in March the store has sold twice as dogs as cats, i.e. D = 2C and C cats.

In April, the store has sold double the dogs of March, i.e. 2D = 4C and triple of cats as in March, 3C.

Now we know that the sum of all sold animals is 500 = 2C + C + 4C + 3C = 10C. Thus, C = 50 and thus the number of dogs sold in March is equal to 2C = 2*50 = 100. Answer B

did the store sell in March?

A) 80

B) 100

C) 120

D) 160

E) 180


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
