Studdy Solution
Now that we have d=77 d = 77 , substitute back to find c c and f f .
Substitute d=77 d = 77 into equation (3): c=77+15 c = 77 + 15 c=92 c = 92
Substitute d=77 d = 77 into equation (5): f=2(77)+29 f = 2(77) + 29 f=154+29 f = 154 + 29 f=183 f = 183
The number of fish owned by people in this country is 183 \boxed{183} million, the number of cats owned by people is 92 \boxed{92} million, the number of dogs owned by people is 77 \boxed{77} million.
