Answer 2

The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Let the number of cars Zane washed on Saturday be x.

It is given that he gets paid $8 for every car he washes and made a total of $64 on Saturday.

We need to write an equation to show how many cars Zane washed on Saturday.

If he get $8 for one car, then the total amount he get for x cars is

Total amount = 8x

He made a total of $64 on Saturday, so

`8x=64`

The required equation is 8x=64.Therefore the correct option is D.
