Hello there!

$56 = 8 cars
$x = 5 cars

Now we can do cross multiply

8 * x = 5 * 56

8x = 280

Now we can divide both sides by 8

8x/8 = 280/8

x = 35

Thus,

You earned $35 for washing 5 cars!

You earn $56 for washing 8 cars.

First find out how much you earn washing one car. Divide 56 with 8

56/8 = 7

You earn $7 for washing 1 car.

Now find out how much you earn washing 5 cars.

7/1 (being $7 per 1 car)
5/5 (amount of cars washed)

7/1 x 5/5 = 35/5

For 5 cars, you earn $35.

$35 is your answer

hope this helps
