Lillie Lawrence · Answer 1

B. 225 - 45 = 10d

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder Ezra needs to save can be earned by walking ten dogs.

Let remainder = r

Let dogs = d

This means:

r = 10d

Make 'r' numerical values.

r = Total cost of snowboard - Current savings

r = $225 - $45

Therefore:

225 - 45 = 10d
