In a certain pet shop, the ratio of dogs to cats to bunnies in stock is 3 : 7 : 12. If the shop carries 375 dogs and bunnies total in stock, how many dogs are there?
Choose the correct choice:	A) 42	B) 66	C) 75	D) 112	E) 154

Rationale: "let us assume the number of dogs , cats and bunnies to be 3 x , 7 x and 12 x total dogs and bunnies = 15 x . and we are given that 15 x = 375 . hence x = 25 . dogs = 3 x = 3 * 25 = 75 ( option c )"
Answer: C
