Question

Members of the drama club held a car wash to raise funds for their spring musical. They

charged $3 to wash a car and $5 to wash a pick-up truck or a sport utility vehicle. If they
earned a total of $425 by washing a total of 125 vehicles, how many of each did they wash?
Use c to represent the number of cars and to represent the number of trucks.

Answer 1

100 cars

25 trucks

Explanation:

$3c + $5t = $425

c + t = 125 vehicles

($3 * 100) + ($5 * 25) = $425

100 + 25 = 125

Therefore, they washed 100 cars and 25 trucks

Hope this helps!
