Question

6. Lynne walls dogs every day to earn money. The

fees she charges per month are 1 dog, S40:2
dogs, $37.25 each; 3 dogs $34.50 each; 4 dogs.
$31.75 each. A pet store wants her to walk 8 dogs
If the pattern continues, how much will Lynne
charge to walk each of the 8 dogs?​

Answer 1

22 per dog when she is walking 8

she would make 176 for walking all 8 of them

Explanation:

For each additional dog she walks she is giving a discount. If you subtract each one you will see she is giving a 2.75 discount.

40-37.25 = 2.75

37.25-34.50 = 2.75

34.50-31.75 = 2.75

Since you know she gives a discount of 2.75 per dog you can take that times the number of dogs (8).

8 x 2.75 = 22 per dog

Then take that amount and multiply it by the number of dogs she is walking.

8 x 22 = 176 for all 8 dogs
