At the dog show, there are four times as many boxers as spaniels. If there are a total of 30 dogs, how many dogs are spaniels?

The dogs are going to be labeled x. This problem can be represented by the equation 4x+x=30, because there are 30 dogs total and 4x is the boxers and x is the spaniels. We then solve for x, 5x=30, x=6. Then we can plug this x value into the equations for boxers and spaniels, finding that there are 24 boxers and 6 spaniels.

There are 6 spaniels at the dog show. Given the equation representing the relationship between spaniels and boxers, the total number of spaniels is found to be 6. Therefore, with four times as many boxers, there are 24 boxers.
