Maisie has saved up $50 to buy concert tickets, but the tickets cost $125. She is able to earn $15 per day by walking her neighbor’s dogs. How many days will Maisie have to walk the dogs to earn enough money to buy the tickets? Let d = the number of days worked.

Subtract 50 from 125

75

Divide by 15 (number of dollars per day)

5

If Maisie walks her neighbors dogs for 5 days, she will save up to a total of 125

Hope this helps :)
