Question

Mo has a new dog walking service that charges $15 per dog with a one-time equipment fee of $10. How much will Mo charge to walk my 3 dogs?(1 point)
Responses

y = 10x + 15 where y= cost and x= number of dogs. For 3 dogs it will cost $45.
y = 10x + 15 where y= cost and x= number of dogs. For 3 dogs it will cost $45.

y = 15x + 10 where y= cost and x= number of dogs. For 3 dogs it will cost $55
y = 15x + 10 where y= cost and x= number of dogs. For 3 dogs it will cost $55

y = 15x + 10x where y= cost and x= number of dogs. For 3 dogs it will cost $75.
y = 15x + 10x where y= cost and x= number of dogs. For 3 dogs it will cost $75.

x = 15y + 10 where y= cost and x= number of dogs. For 3 dogs it will cost $55.
x = 15y + 10 where y= cost and x= number of dogs. For 3 dogs it will cost $55.

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost for walking 3 dogs with Mo's service, we need to use the information given:

- The cost is $15 per dog.
- There is a one-time equipment fee of $10.

First, we can calculate the total cost for 3 dogs:

1. Cost for walking 3 dogs:
- \( 15 \text{ dollars/dog} \times 3 \text{ dogs} = 45 \text{ dollars} \)

2. Add the one-time equipment fee of $10:
- Total cost = \( 45 \text{ dollars} + 10 \text{ dollars} = 55 \text{ dollars} \)

So, Mo will charge $55 to walk 3 dogs. The correct equation for this would be:
\[ y = 15x + 10 \]
where \( y \) is the total cost and \( x \) is the number of dogs.

Thus, the appropriate response is:
**y = 15x + 10 where y= cost and x= number of dogs. For 3 dogs it will cost $55.**
