The animal shelter is buying dog food. The function d(n) = 12n represents the number of cans of dog food needed for n dogs. How many cans of dog food are needed for 15 dogs?(

To find out how many cans of dog food are needed for 15 dogs, we can substitute the value of n as 15 in the given function.

So, d(15) = 12(15)
= 180

Therefore, 180 cans of dog food are needed for 15 dogs.
