Question

Maggie earns extra money walking dogs on the weekend. She walks 4 dogs per hour and earns $12.50 per dog.

How much does Maggie earn for 5 hours of walking dogs?

Answer 1

$250.00

Explanation:

First, we can find how many dogs Maggie can walk in 5 hours.

Maggie walks 4 dogs in one hour. So,
`(4 dogs/hour)(5 hours) = 20 dogs`

Then, Maggie earns $12.50 per dog. We can multiply $12.50 by 20 dogs to see how much see earns

`(12.50)(20) = 250.00`

Therefore, Maggie earns $250.00 for 5 hours of walking dogs.
