Solution 1: Step 1: Draw a model
Step 2: Use the diagram to calculate how many spots 101 – 25 = 76
76 = the value of the yellow shaded blocks 76 ÷ 2 = 38
Therefore one dog has 38 spots
38 + 25 = 63 Therefore dog two has 63 spots

Solution 2: Step 1: Construct an equation
x + (x+25) = 101Step 2: Solve for x ( to find the number of spots on one dog)
2x + 25 = 1012x = 101 - 25
2x = 76x = 38
Therefore dog 1 has 38 spotsStep 3: Calculate the number of spots on dog 2
dog 2 = x + 1dog 2 = 38 + 25
Therefore dog 2 has 63 spots
