Answer 1

Dana : she works 4 days and gets paid $ 12.75 per dog...and she grooms 15 dogs per day.....so Dana makes : 4(12.75 * 15) = 4(191.25) = $ 765

Monique : she works 5 days and gets paid $ 12.75 per dog...and she grooms 10 dogs per day....so she makes : 5(12.75 * 10) = 5(127.50) =

$ 637.50

so the difference between their weekly earnings is : (765 - 637.50) =

$ 127.50
