There are 4 breeds of dogs available at a pet store. If the ratio of those dogs available is 3 : 7 : 1 : 23, find the total number of dogs available. It is known that the minimum number of dogs of any breed available is 19. Correct Answer 646

The minimum number of dogs of any breed is 19. Let the number of dogs be in terms of x. The number of dogs will be 3x, 7x, x and 23x. X = the minimum number of dogs available of any breed = 19 X = 19, 3x = 57, 7x = 133 and 23x = 437 The total number of dogs available = 437 + 133 + 57 + 19 = 646
