Respuesta :

She should charge $ 5 for small dog and $ 10 for large dog.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Leanne charges twice as much to walk a large dog as she does to walk a small dog.

Number of large dogs = 5

Number of small dogs = 10

She wants to make $ 100.

To find the charge of large dog and small dog for walk.

Let,

She charges $ x for small dog and $ 2x for large dog.

According to the problem,

5×2x + 10×x = 100

or, 20x = 100

or. x = 5

Hence,

She charges $ 5 for small dog and $ 2×5 = $ 10 for large dog.
