Question

You board your dog at Sunbrook's Kennels and pay $417.24. Assume you get a manners lesson and playtime for your dog each day. How many days did your dog stay at the kennel?

A) 10 days
B) 11 days
C) 12 days
D) 13 days

Answer 1

To find the number of days the dog stayed at the kennel, you need to divide the total cost by the cost per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of days your dog stayed at the kennel, you need to divide the total cost of $417.24 by the cost per day. Since the cost per day includes a manners lesson and playtime, you can use the following equation:

Cost per day = Total cost / Number of days

In this case, the cost per day is not given. So, we cannot determine the exact number of days. However, we can calculate the minimum number of days your dog stayed. Let's assume the cost per day is only for the boarding without any extras.

Minimum number of days = Total cost / Cost per day

Let's say the cost per day is $30. Using the equation above:

Minimum number of days = $417.24 / $30 = 13.91

Since you cannot have a fraction of a day, the minimum number of days your dog stayed at the kennel is 13 days. Therefore, the correct answer is D) 13 days.
