Taylor earns $5 each time she walks her neighbor’s dog. She has already earned $25. Write and solve an equation to find out how many times Taylor needs to walk the dog to earn enough to buy a bike that costs $83. Find an estimate to check the reasonableness of your answer.

Answer:

12 times

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the number of times she has to walk dogs multiplied by 5 dollars she gets each time plus the 25 she started with all equal to 83 because that's how much she needs

5x + 25 = 83

-25 -25

5x = 58

5x/5 = 58/5

x = 11.6

can't walk the dog a 6th of a time so rounded to the nearest while number ti get 12

she has to walk dogs approximately 12 times
