Question

Lynne walks dogs every day to earn money.the fees she charges per month are 1 dog ,$40; 2 dogs 37.25 each. 3 dogs 34.50 each. 4 dogs 31.75 each. A pet store wants her to walk 8 dogs. If the pattern continues how much will Lynne charge to walk each of the 8 dogs?

Answer 1

Lynne will charge $20.75 to walk each of the 8 dogs. You see, there is a constant pattern of $2.75 between each dog as the number of them gets higher and higher

For example:

40.00-37.25= 2.75
37.25- 34.50=2.75

To get this answer, you just had to keep subtracting 2.75 until you got to 8 dogs. Hope this helps! Have a blessed day!!
