Question

The math club is doing a car wash as a fundraiser. They charge $7 per car and $12 per minivan. The club wants to raise

$600
Which equation in standard form shows how many cars and minivans m they need to wash to meet their goal

Answer 1

im not sure but i think it’s 7x+12y=600

Answer 2

7x+12y ≤ 600

or

7x+12y = 600

Explanation:

Lets first call cars x and minivans y. Since they want to raise 600, you can do the sign ≤ and 600

≤ 600

Since it is $7 per car, we can do 7x.

Since it is $12 per minivan, we can do 12y.

Together, they have to add up to 600 or more.

7x+12y ≤ 600

If you provide some options, I might be able to give a better answer. Without options, I can't tell if they want an exact answer or not. So technically, the answer could also be:

7x+12y = 600
