Question

Macy has saved up $50 to buy concert tickets, but the tickets cost $125. She is able to earn $15 per day by walking her neighbors dogs. How many days will Maisie have to walk the dogs to an enough money to buy the tickets? let “d” equal the number of days worked. also , what is the equation you would use to solve this ??

Answer 1

Answer:50+15d=125

5 days

Explanation:

Subtract 50 from both sides to get 15d=75 then divide both sides by 15 and the answer is 5 days

Answer 2

125=15d+50

Explanation:

Subtract what she has from what she needs so 125-50=75

Then divide that by the amount of money she makes a day to figure out how many days she'll need to work so, 75/15=-5

She will have to work 5 days in order to have enough to buy her ticket
