Final answer:

To make
$96 each week, he needs to walk an additional
2 dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many additional dogs he needs to walk, we can use the equation:

income = price per dog * number of dogs

Given that he charges
$8 per week for each dog, walks
10 dogs each week, and wants to make
$96 each week, we can solve for the number of additional dogs he needs to walk:


96 = 8 * (10 + x)

Where x is the number of additional dogs he needs to walk. Solving the equation:


96 = 8 * 10 + 8x


96 = 80 + 8x

dogs


x = 2
$96

There, he needs to walk an additional
2 dogs to make
$96 each week.
