I don’t understand the teachers answer at all. You can’t have a half a dog. The answer to the question is 36. There are 36 small dogs and 13 large

Have you ever been to a Korean restaurant? ;)

No, your answer gives only 23 more small dogs than large dogs. The break down in the article confused me, when people here wrote the equation using X for large dogs it made sense.

Like another said, using dogs in this problem messes with your mind. Solving for X to then find the total makes sense.
