Question

The math club is having a car wash to raise funds to attend a state competition. They need to raise a minimum of $325.00. The cost of supplies for the car wash is $25.00. If they expect 40 cars on the day of the car wash, what is the amount they will have to charge each car to meet the minimum goal?

Answer 1

8.75

Explanation:

Answer 2

8.75

Explanation:

the formula to use would be:

$325 = 40x - 25

add 25 to both sides of the equation to get:

$350 = 40x

divide both sides by 40 to get:

x = 350/40 = $8.75

if they charge $8.75 per car, they will raise 40 * that for a total of $350.

they would then subtract the $25 for the cost of the supplies and they would be left with $325.

that's their minimum goal.
