Question

2. You board your dog at Lakeside Kennels and pay $213.25. How

many days did your dog stay at the kennel? Justify your answer.
Assume you get a manners lesson and play time for your dog
each day.

Answer 1

7 days

Explanation:

Given :

Manners lesson ; flat fee = $40

Play time per day = 9.50

Board per day = 15.25

Total amount paid = 213.25

Let Number of days spent at Lakeside kennels = x

Total fee = Manners lesson + (Board per day * Number of days) + (play time per day * number of days)

213.25 = 40 + 15.25x + 9.50x

213.25 = 40 + 24.75x

213.25 - 40 = 24.75x

173.25 = 24.75x

x = 173.25 / 24.75

x = 7

Hence,

Dog stayed for 7 days
