Question

Dog kennel charges each owner a registration fee + a daily amount for the # of days a dog is boarded. The total bill for 1 owner was 115 for 5 days, another was 151 for boarding for 7 days. Are the following true or false

1. a total cost for 10 days is 180
2. a total cost for 14 days is 277
3. a total cost for 1 day is 43

Answer 1

Find cost difference between the two days

151 - 115 = 36

we can assume it costs 18$ a day

To find registration fee

five days = 18 x 5 = 90$

115 - 90 = 25

The registration fee is 25$

The formula is 18x + 25. Where x is the amount of days the dog is boarded

1. False

2. True

3. True
