Melissa runs a dog-boarding service. The cost to board a dog for one day is $25.00. If the same dog owner wants to board their d
og for more than one day, the cost is $15.00 per additional day. Jared plans to use Melissa's dog-boarding service, and he budgets to spend no more than $150.00 to board his dog.
Step-by-step explanation: For this problem we will write an inequality to represent this situation.
Let x equal each additional day.
25 + 15x ≤ 150
The inequality above states that the dog owner will spend $25 for the first day and then for each additional day the dog owner will spend $15, but is budget is no more than $150 that the dog owner can spend.
