Answer 1

Number of dogs (x) | Amount charged to walk a dog (y)

1 | 20

2 | 40

3 | 60

4 | 80

5 | 100

6 | 120

7 | 140

8 | 160

Explanation:

Charge for walking a dog = $20 per dog

Number of dogs = x

Amount charged to walk a dog in a day = y

Unit rate = 20

Equation to represent this is: y = 20x

Let's use this to form a table for walking 1 to 8 dogs:

For 1 dog (x):

y = 20(1) = $20

For 2 dogs (x):

y = 20(2) = $40

For 3 dogs(x):

y = 20(3) = $60

For 4 dogs:

y = 20(4) = $80

And so on till we get to tl8 dogs.

This, we should have the following table:

Number of dogs (x) | Amount charged to walk a dog (y)

1 | 20

2 | 40

3 | 60

4 | 80

5 | 100

6 | 120

7 | 140

8 | 160
