Answer:

The number of car they did quick wash is 75 and the number of car they did premium washes is 50 .

Explanation:

The number of cars they washed is equals to 125 cars. They made a total of $775 from the wash. The wash is in two category the quick washes which is $5 and the premium washes which is $8.

Let

number of car for quick washes = x

number of car for premium washes = y

Base on the equation given below

x + y =125 .........(i)

5x + 8y = 775 .......(ii)

Let us find x and y

from equation (i)

y = 125 - x

inserting the value of y in equation (ii)

5x + 8(125 - x) = 775

5x + 1000 - 8x = 775

-3x = -225

divide both sides by -3

x = -225/-3

x = 75

insert the value of x in equation (i)

75 + y =125

y = 125 -75

y = 50

The number of car they did quick wash is 75 and the number of car they did premium washes is 50 .
