Question

Chelsea dog-sits for her neighbors as a part-time job. She charges $12 a day plus an additional $2.50 for each walk she takes with the dogs. Determine which graph and which equation represent the amount of money Chelsea earns in one day, A, after taking w walks with the dogs.

Answer 1

It should be something like 12+2.50w= your answer

Answer 2

`A = 12+2.50w`

Explanation:

Chelsea charges $12 per day

She also charges additional $2.50 for each walk

We are given that She took w walks in one day

So, additional cost of w walks = 2.50w

let A represents the total amount she earns in one day after taking w walks.

So, the total amount she earn in 1 day after taking w walks :

`A = 12+2.50w`

Hence equation represent the amount of money Chelsea earns in one day, A, after taking w walks with the dogs is
`A = 12+2.50w`
