Answer 1

1) Gathering the data

pay $90 for vaccinations,

$75 to spay or neuter the dog,

and $40 for a wellness exam

Let x be the price of the dog.

2) Since all of these expenses represent money out, or less money in your wallet. And all of these prices refer to the adoption of one dog then We can state

C=(90+75+40)x

C= 205x
