Dana : she works 4 days and gets paid $ 12.75 per dog ... and she grooms 15 dogs per day ... so Dana makes : 4 (12.75 * 15) = 4 (191.25) = $ 765

Monique : she works 5 days and gets paid $ 12.75 per dog ... and she grooms 10 dogs per day ... so she makes : 5 (12.75 * 10) = 5 (127.50) =

$ 637.50

so the difference between their weekly earnings is : (765 - 637.50) =

$ 127.50
