Solution

Step 1: Calculate the total number of tins of cat food Rita bought. She bought 5 packages of cat food, and each package contains 7 tins. So, 5 packages * 7 tins/package = 35 tins of cat food.

Step 2: Calculate the total number of tins of dog food Rita bought. She bought 3 packages of dog food, and each package contains 3 tins. So, 3 packages * 3 tins/package = 9 tins of dog food.

Step 3: Subtract the total number of tins of dog food from the total number of tins of cat food to find out how many more tins of cat food Rita bought. So, 35 tins - 9 tins = 26 more tins of cat food than dog food.
