Maisie has saved up $50 to buy concert tickets, but the tickets cost $125. She is able to earn $15 per day by walking her neighbor’s dogs. How many days will Maisie have to walk the dogs to earn enough money to buy the tickets? Let d = the number of days worked.
Ok what you do is take the 50 and minus off 125 dollars. Then divide 15 from that answer.
.
ok, so we first need to write an equation to set up all our information. so we know she needs $125, she already has $50 and we need to know how many days, d, she needs to work. this gives us:|dw:1612906214650:dw|
