[Question]: A boat carrying 20 sheep, 10 cows and 14 dogs capsized. 3 of the sheep drowned. Twice as many cows drowned as did sheep. All of the dogs made it to shore. How many total animals made it to the shore?
[Answer]:
The boat had 20 - 3 = 17 sheep make it to shore. 3 sheep drowned, so 2 * 3 = 6 cows drowned. 10 cows on the boat - 6 drowned = 4 cows made it to the shore. 17 sheep + 4 cows + 14 dogs = 35 animals made it to shore.
So the answer is 35.
