Question

Gina has been offered a job as a dog walker. Each week Gina works, she gets a flat amount of $10, plus an additional $5 per dog walked. Gina's goal is to earn at least $75 each week. Which inequality can be used to find the number of dogs Gina must walk in a week in order to reach her goal?

Answer 1

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

flat amount =$10

let the number of dogs walked be x

and let the money earned be y

y= 10+5x

for y= 75

let us find x

75= 10+5x

75-10= 5x

65= 5x

divide both sides by 5

x= 65/5

x=13

Hence the number of dogs is 13
