Question

The sophomore class holds a car wash to raise money. A local merchant donated all of the supplies. A wash cost $5 per car and $6:50 per van or truck. Write an equation in standard form to relate the number of cars and vans or trucks the students must wash to raise $800.

Answer 1

To write an equation in standard form to relate the number of cars and vans or trucks the students must wash to raise $800, we can use the equation: 5c + 6.50v = 800.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation in standard form to relate the number of cars and vans or trucks the students must wash to raise $800, we can use the following equation:

5c + 6.50v = 800

Where c represents the number of cars and v represents the number of vans or trucks.

Answer 2

10c +13v = 1600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c and v represent the numbers of cars and vans that must be washed. To raise exactly $800, the values of c and v must satisfy ...

5c + 6.5v = 800

To put this in standard form, we must make the second coefficient an integer. We can do that by multiplying by 2.

10c +13v = 1600
