Complete question :

Taylor earns $5 each time she walks her neighbor's dog. She has already earned $25. Write and solve an equation to find out how many more times Taylor needs to walk the dog to earn enough to buy a bike that costs $83.

Answer:

12

Explanation:

Amount earned for walking dog = $5 per walk

Amount already earned = $25

How many more times dog needs to be walked to buy a bike which costs $83

Target amount = 83

(Target amount - already earned amount) / amount earned per Walk

(83 - 25) / 5

58 / 5

= 11.6

Hence, Taylor needs to walk her neighbor's dog 12 more times
