The sum of the average amounts spent for veterinary expenses for dogs, cats, and birds in a recent year was $293 The average expenditure per dog exceeded the sum of the averages for cats and birds by $113. The amount spent per cat was times the amount spent per bird. Find the average amount spent on each type of animal.

The question is incomplete:

The sum of the average amounts spent for veterinary expenses for dogs, cats, and birds in a recent year was $293 The average expenditure per dog exceeded the sum of the averages for cats and birds by $113. The amount spent per cat was 9 times the amount spent per bird. Find the average amount spent on each type of animal.

The average amount spent in dogs is $203, in cats is $81 and in birds is $9.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can write the following equations:

x+y+z=293 (1)

x-y-z=113 (2)

y=9z (3)

You can replace (3) in (1) and (2):

x+9z+z=293

x+10z=293 (4)

x-9z-z=113

x-10z=113 (5)

Now, you have the following equations:

x+10z=293 (4)

x-10z=113 (5)

Then, you can isolate x in (4):

x=293-10z (6)

Next, you can replace (6) in (5):

293-10z-10z=113

293-20z=113

293-113=20z

180=20z

z=180/20

z=9

Now, you can replace the value of z in (6) to find x:

x=293-10z

x=293-10(9)

x=293-90

x=203

Finally, you can replace the value z in (3) to find y:

y=9*(9)

y=81

According to this, the answer is that the average amount spent in dogs is $203, in cats is $81 and in birds is $9.
