Veronica

Veronica walks dogs in her neighborhood for extra money during the summer. For each dog walk, she earns $5.25. On Monday, she completed 3 walks, and on Tuesday, she completed 2 walks. She estimates that to save up for a new purse that costs $86, she must complete 12 more walks by the end of the week.

Is Veronica's estimate reasonable? Why or why not?

Yes

No

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} w=5.25\text{USD} \\ n=\frac{86.00}{w}-(3+2)=\frac{86.00}{5.25}-(3+2)=\frac{239}{21}=11\frac{8}{21}\doteq 11.381 \\ n>11 \\ n\doteq 12 \\ x=1 \end{gathered}$$
