The soccer team collected $800 at a car wash fundraiser. They charged $5 00 for small vehicles and $10 00 for larger
vehicles. The amount collected can be modeled by the equation 5x+10y 800, where x represents the number of small
vehicles and y represents the number of larger vehicles. If the number of larger vehicles washed was 50, how many small
vehicles were washed in total?

Respuesta :

You are told Y is the number of large vehicles washed and that there were 50 large vehicles.

Replace Y with 50 in the given equation to solve for x ( the number of small cars.

5x + 10(50) = 800

5x + 500 = 800

Subtract 500 from both sides:

5x = 300

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 300/5

x = 60

There were 60 small cars washed.

Answer:

yes the answer would be B
