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 5 x plus 10 y equals 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?

Answer 1

Answer:

Small vehicles washed = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 10 y = 800

x = number of small vehicles

y =  number of larger vehicles

larger vehicles washed was 50

=> y = 50

=> 5x + 10 * 50 = 800

=> 5x + 500 = 800

=> 5x = 300

=> x = 60

Small vehicles washed = 60

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 10 y = 800

x = number of small vehicles

y = number of larger vehicles

larger vehicles washed was 50

=> y = 50

=> 5x + 10 * 50 = 800

=> 5x + 500 = 800

=> 5x = 300

=> x = 60

Small vehicles washed = 60
