Question

Four students raised $282 for a charity by washing cars. The students received $6 for each car they washed. How many cars did they wash?​

Answer 1

Answer: 47

Step-by-step explanation: 6x = 282

6x/6 = 282/6

x = 47

Answer 2

To find the number of cars washed, we can divide the total earnings by the earnings per car:

Cars washed = Total earnings / Earnings per car

Cars washed = $282 / $6

Cars washed = 47

Therefore, the four students washed 47 cars.
