Question

Jesse earns $3 each time he walks a dog. Last Monday and Tuesday, he earned a total of $45. He walked 8 dogs on Tuesday. How many dogs did Jesse walk on Monday?

Answer 1

Jesse walked 7 dogs on Monday.

To find this answer, you must first find out how much money he made for walking dogs on Tuesday. To do so, multiple 8 (number of dogs) by 3 (amount of money earned per dog. This will give you 24, which you subtract from the total (45). 45 - 24 = 21. Finally, divide 21 (amount he made on Monday) by 3 (amount of money earned per dog) to get 7 dogs on Monday.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

3*8=24 and so 3*7 would =21 and 21+24=45
