Give the cost per day to be $120

Before we can get the cost of the dog at the day care for 2 weeks, 3 days, and 5 hours, we need tp first convert this to days

Since 1 week = 7days

2 weeeks = 14 days

Also if 24 hours = 1 day

5 hours = (5/24) day

Adding up in days:

2 weeks, 3 days, and 5 hours = 14days + 3 days + 5/24 days

2 weeks, 3 days, and 5 hours = 17 5/24days

Next is to calculate the cost

If 1 day = $120

17 5/24 days = x

cross multiply

x = 120 * 17 5/24

x = 120 * 413/24

x = 49560/24

x = 2,065

Hence the price of the dog when it is at the daycare for 2 weeks, 3 days, and 5 hours is $2,065
