Question

The soccer team collected $800 at a car wash fundraiser. They charged $5.00 for small vehicles and $10.00 for larger vehicles. The amount collected can be modeled by the equation 5x + 10y = 800, where x represents the number of small vehicles and y represents the number of larger vehicles. If the number of larger vehicles washed was 50, how many small vehicles were washed in total? 55 60 130 150

Answer 1

all you have to do is plug 50 into the formula. 50 is the amount of large vehicles washed so plug it in for y. 5x+10(50)=800
5x+500=800
5x=300
60=x
