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 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?

Answer 1

5x+10(50)=800

5x+500=800

5x=300

x=60

Answer 2

They charged $5.00 for small vehicles

They charged $10.00 for larger vehicles.

here x represents the number of small vehicles and y represents the number of larger vehicles.
