Final answer:

The coach of the Spring Grove girls volleyball team will have $605.15 to spend on new uniforms after applying the 65% of the total funds raised from the car wash and donations over the weekend, where the cost of each car wash was $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves finding out how much money the coach of the Spring Grove girls volleyball team will have to spend on new uniforms based on the funds raised from a car wash and donations. To calculate this, we need to determine the total amount of money raised and then apply the 65% that the coach plans to use.

First, let's determine the total amounts raised on each day:

  • For Saturday: $225 + 29c
  • For Sunday: $170 + 38c

Since the cost of each car wash is $8 (c = $8), we can substitute this value into the equations:

  • For Saturday: $225 + (29 × $8)
  • For Sunday: $170 + (38 × $8)

Calculating these gives us:

  • For Saturday: $225 + $232 = $457
  • For Sunday: $170 + $304 = $474

The total amount raised over the weekend is $457 + $474 = $931.

Now, we calculate 65% of $931:

0.65 × $931 = $605.15

Therefore, the coach will have $605.15 to spend on new uniforms.
