Answer 2

Chris's total earning will be: $306.25

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of dogs = d = 5

Number of weeks = w = 7

Cost for walking per dog = c = $8.75

First of all, we will calculate his per week cost of walking 5 dogs

Per week cost of walking 5 dogs = d*c = 8.75*5 = $43.75

Then for the cost of 7 weeks, the amount of one week will be multiplied by 7

Total earning will be:

`= 43.75*7 = 306.25`

Hence,

Chris's total earning will be: $306.25
