The question
Jasmijn is a pet groomer. She charges n dollars to clip a dog's nails, w dollars to wash the dog, and h dollars to cut a dog's hair. Jasmijn will perform all three services for each of the 4 dogs she needs to groom this weekend. Which expressions can we use to describe how much jasmijn will charge for grooming all 4 dogs?
Answer:
4 dog grooming price expression = (4n + 4w + 4h)
Explanation:
According to the question, grooming a dog requires 3 distinct activities which are clipping the nails, washing the dog and cutting the dog's hair. Each of this activities has a price tag. The sum of each activities prices will give you the amount Jasmijn will charge for each dog.
clip a dog = $n
wash a dog = $w
cut a dog hair = $h
Amount jasmijn will charge for grooming each dog = $n + $w + $h
The expression one can use to describe how much Jasmijn will charge for grooming 4 dogs are as follows.
Since the price of 1 dog grooming = $n + $w + $h
4 dog grooming price will be 4 × ($n + $w + $h)
4 dog grooming price = 4 × ($n + $w + $h)
4 dog grooming price =$ (4n + 4w + 4h)
