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 find the appropriate inequality representing Dorian's earnings from dog walking, we need to consider the constraints:

1. Dorian earns $15 for each dog he walks, so his earnings, represented by \( f(w) \), is given by the equation \( f(w) = 15w \).
2. Since \( w \) (the number of dogs walked) must be a non-negative integer, the lowest value for \( f(w) \) is $0 (if he doesn't walk any dogs).
3. We must also consider a maximum earning limit. Since the problem specifies a maximum of $1,050, we can derive the number of walks by:

\[
15w \leq 1,050
\]

which implies

\[
w \leq \frac{1,050}{15} = 70.
\]

This means the maximum number of dogs Dorian can walk is 70, leading to a maximum earning of $1,050.

Given this context, the correct inequality that shows the range of his earnings would be:

\[
0 \leq f(w) \leq 1,050.
\]

Thus, the final answer is:

**0 ≤ f(w) ≤ 1,050**
