Question

Frank needs a total of $360 to cover his expenses for the week. He earns $195 a week working at a restaurant and also walks dogs to
supplement his income. Frank charges $15 per dog that he walks.
Which equation can be used to find the number of dogs, d, that Frank needs to walk to cover his expenses, and how many dogs is that?

Answer 1

Answer:

11 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out your equation

Let the number of dogs Frank walk be d

360 = 15d +195

Step 2: Solve the equation

360 - 195 = 15d

165 = 15d

$\frac{165}{15} =\frac{15d}{15}$

d = 11

Therefore Frank needs to walk a total of 11 dogs to cover his expanse
