Taylor earns $5 each time she walks her neighbor's dog. She has already earned $25. Write and solve an equation to find out how many more times Taylor needs to walk the dog to earn enough to buy a bike that costs $83.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount earned for walking dog = $5 per walk
Amount already earned = $25
How many more times dog needs to be walked to buy a bike which costs $83
Target amount = 83
(Target amount - already earned amount) / amount earned per Walk
(83 - 25) / 5
58 / 5
= 11.6
Hence, Taylor needs to walk her neighbor's dog 12 more times
