Question

Delilah has an after-school job walking dogs in her neighborhood. She walks 7 dogs a week. She gets paid $12 per dog. She walks each dog around the park 2 times and then take them home. How much does Delilah earn each week? What sentence should you cross out cross out the word problem below?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} E=\text{earnings} \\ E=12\cdot(x) \\ x=\#\text{ of dogs} \\ E=12\cdot7 \\ E=84 \end{gathered}`

The sentence that you should cross out is "She walks each dog around the park 2 times and take them home" since she gets paid for the walk and does not affect the earnings how many times she walks the dogs around the park
