Jason has three more pet birds than he has cats. If he has eleven pets in all, how many cats does he have?

Answer :

As per the concept of unitary method, if he has eleven pets in all, then Jason has 4 cats.

Let's assume that Jason has x cats. Since he has three more pet birds than cats, he must have (x + 3) pet birds. The total number of pets is eleven, so we can set up an equation to represent this relationship:

x (number of cats) + (x + 3) (number of birds) = 11 (total number of pets).

Now, we can solve for x:

x + x + 3 = 11

2x + 3 = 11

2x = 11 - 3

2x = 8

x = 8 / 2

x = 4
