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?

Total collected = $800
Small vehicles = $5.00
Large vehicles = $10.00
Equation:
5x + 10y = 800
Find x:
Given that y = 50
5x + 10y = 800
5x + 10(50) = 800
5x + 500 = 800
5x = 300
x = 60
Answer: 60 small vehicles were washed.

=5x+10×50=800
5x+500=800
=5x=800-500
=5x=300
X=300/5
X=60
so,60 small vehicle were washed
5x+500=800
=5x=800-500
=5x=300
X=300/5
X=60
so,60 small vehicle were washed
