Heloise has [NUMBER] dogs and [NUMBER] cats in the ratio of [NUMBER]:[NUMBER], with the total number of pets being [NUMBER]. If she gives [NUMBER] dogs to her friend Janet, how many dogs does she remain with altogether?
The total ratio for the number of cats and dogs that Heloise has is 10+17 = <<10+17=27>>27
From the ratios, the fraction representing the number of dogs is 10/27, and this represents 10/27*189 = <<10/27*189=70>>70 dogs.
If Heloise gives 10 of her dogs to Janet, she remains with 70-10 = <<70-10=60>>60 dogs.
