Answer:

She walked neighbor's dog 4 times.

Explanation:

It is given that:

Peri earned $27 for walking the dogs 3 times.

Unit rate =
(27)/(3)

Unit rate = $9 per dog

Now,

Peri worked at the same rate and earned $36.

Unit rate =
(Total\ earning)/(Dogs\ walked)


9 = (36)/(d)

d= 36/9

d = 4

Therefore,

She walked neighbor's dog 4 times.
