To find out how many hours Laynee spent walking her neighbors' dogs, we need to first subtract the additional amount she earned for bathing a dog ($25) from the total amount she earned last week ($153 - $25 = $128).
Next, we divide the remaining amount ($128) by her hourly rate ($8 per hour) to find out how many hours she worked: $128 / $8 = 16 hours.
Therefore, Laynee spent 16 hours walking her neighbors' dogs last week.
D) 16 hours
