Answer:

The answer to your question is there are 105 dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Cats = 4   Pets = 14

Cats = 42

Process

1.- To solve this problem use ratio and proportions

                  4 : 14 :: 42 : x

x = Number of pets

2.- Find x

                  x = (14 x 42) / 4

                  x = 588 / 4

                  x = 147 pets

3.- Find the number of dogs

Dogs = 147 - 42

          = 105
