Question 1002025: 1. A friend of yours has a dog walking business. For every dog she walks she earns $5. Suppose p represents the number of dogs your friend walks In a week.
a) in terms of p, what is the amount of money your friend earns in a week?
b) if your friend has to spend $5 each week on dog treats how does this change your answer to (a), the amount of money she earns each week.
c) one day your friend shows you her chart of how much money she has been earning each week. You notice that the least amount she earned In any week was $20 and the most she earned in a week was $105. Write an inequality in terms of p to show that the amount of money earned is between 20 and 105.
d) another friend takes care of people's cats while the owners are away. This friend charges $3 for every cat he takes care of and spends $10 per month for cat treats. After several months this friend shows you the inequality he prepared for his earnings per month where c represents the number of cats taken care of of (see inequality below). Slove the inequality and write the minimum number of cars taken care of in any month and the maximum number of cats taken care of In any month
