[Question]Vann is a veterinarian. Today he is going to be doing dental cleanings only. Dogs have 42 teeth, cats have 30 teeth and pigs have 28 teeth. If he is to do 5 dogs, 10 cats and 7 pigs, how many total teeth will Vann clean today?
[Answer]First let's find the number for each animal separately, 42 teeth per dog * 5 dogs = 210 teeth for dogs. Then cats total will be 30 teeth per cat * 10 cats = 300 teeth in total for cats. Finally, the number for pigs is 28 teeth per pig * 7 pigs = 196 teeth in total for pigs. So the total in all is 210 teeth + 300 teeth + 196 teeth = 706 teeth in total. The answer is 706.
