Question

A group of students organized a car wash to raise money for a local charity. The students charged $8.00 for each car they washed. In 4 hours, they washed 16 cars. At that rate, how much money could they earn from washing cars for ten hours?

Answer 1

$320

Explanation:

First, we can find how many cars they washed.

At 8 hours, they washed 32 cars, and since you still have two hours worth of cars to find, you can divide 16 by 2, and you get 8.

So in total, they washed 40 cars.

Now, you can multiply 40 by $8.00, and you get $320.
