Answer:
6 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Ivan earns [tex]\$8[/tex] each time he walks his neighbors dog. He already walked the dog [tex]5[/tex] times.
To Find: How many more times does he need to walk the dog to earn enough money to buy a game that cost [tex]\$88[/tex].
Solution:
Money earned by the Ivan each time he walk his neighbors dog [tex]=\$8[/tex]
Number of times Ivan already walked the dog [tex]=5[/tex]
Money earned by Ivan [tex]=5\times8[/tex]
[tex]=\$40[/tex]
Cost of game [tex]=\$88[/tex]
Money required to buy game [tex]=\text{cost of game}-\text{money Ivan has}[/tex]
[tex]=88-40[/tex]
[tex]\$48[/tex]
Let days Ivan need to earn enough money to buy game [tex]=\text{x}[/tex]
Money earned by Ivan in [tex]\text{x}[/tex] days [tex]=8\text{x}[/tex]
Now,
[tex]8\text{x}=\$48[/tex]
[tex]\text{x}=6[/tex]
Hence 6 times more Ivan need to walk the dog to earn enough money to buy the game.
