Question

Dorian earns $15 every time he walks a dog. He models the total amount of money he makes walking dogs with the equation f(w)=15w
. Which inequality shows the range of his earnings given the real-world constraints?(1 point)

To determine the range of Dorian's earnings while walking dogs, we first need to consider the equation given: \( f(w) = 15w \), where \( w \) represents the number of dogs walked.

1. Dorian earns $15 per dog.
2. If we assume he has a maximum number of dogs he can walk, for example, if he can walk up to 70 dogs, his maximum earnings would be \( 15 \times 70 = 1,050 \).
3. Therefore, his earnings, \( f(w) \), must be between $0 (if he walks no dogs) and his maximum allowed amount, which in this case is $1,050.

Considering these points, the correct inequality that shows the range of his earnings, given these constraints, is:

**0 ≤ f(w) ≤ 1,050**

This means Dorian can earn at least $0 (if he walks no dogs) and at most $1,050.
