Question

The toll on a bridge is $ 1.00 for cars and $ 2.50 for trucks. In one hour, a toll operator raises a total of $ 105 in tolls. Write an equation that represents the relationship between the number of cars, c, and the number of trucks, L, that could have gone through this toll.

Answer 1

1c+2.5L=105

step by step

Answer 2

Answer: the equation representing the relationship between c and L is

c + 2.5L = 105

Explanation:

Let c represent the number of cars that could have gone through the toll.

Let L represent the number of trucks that could have gone through the toll.

The toll on a bridge is $ 1.00 for cars and $ 2.50 for trucks. In one hour, a toll operator raises a total of $ 105 in tolls. Therefore, the equation representing the relationship between c and L would be

c + 2.5L = 105
