Question

Sara has a part time job walking dogs for people who are too busy to do it themselves. She charges $7 per dog for a half-hour walk and $5.50 for each additional dog. Yesterday she did three jobs. One client had 1 dog, another had 3 dogs, and the third had 3 dogs. She walked each dog for half an hour. How much money did she earn?

Answer 1

Hello Jenson,

Here is how it all breaks down:

Client with 1 dog: $7 total for a half-hour walk.

Client with 3 dogs: $7 + $11 for the two additional dogs ($5.50 x 2 = $11) = $18 total charged.

Other client with 3 dogs: $7 + $11 for the two additional dogs ($5.50 x 2 = $11) = $18 total charged.

$7 + $18 + $18 = $43 total earned.
