At the feline sanctuary, there were 12 lions, 14 tigers, and several cougars. If there were half as many cougars as lions and tigers combined, then what was the total number of big cats at the feline sanctuary?
assistant
How many cougars are there? ** Half as many cougars as lions and tigers combined is (12+14)/2=13.
How many big cats are there? ** Then the total number of big cats at the feline sanctuary is 12+14+13=<<12+14+13=39>>39.
