Question

Jia’s friends provide dog washing services. For each dog, supplies cost $4 and wages are $5. To

provide this service, a special room and equipment are needed, at a cost of 400$ per month. Jia’s

friends maintain an average of 30 dogs washed each month. What must Jia’s friends charge as a

price for the dog washing service to break even?​

Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

$ 670

● Explaination -

Total cost of keeping 30 dogs is -

Total cost = 400 + 30 × (4 + 5)

Total cost = 400 + 30 × 9

Total cost = 400 + 270

Total cost = $ 670

Hence, Jia's friends must charge $ 670 for dog washing service of 30 dogs to break even.

* For individual dog, dog washing service charge must be 670/30 = $ 22.33.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you..
