Worker costs: $6,500
Money raised: $500
$10/car wash
$6500/$10=650 cars
If you are looking for the answer subtract the money that has already been raised, it would be:
$6,500-$500=$6000
$6000/$10=600 cars
Money raised: $500
$10/car wash
$6500/$10=650 cars
If you are looking for the answer subtract the money that has already been raised, it would be:
$6,500-$500=$6000
$6000/$10=600 cars

Forgot to divide by twelve:
650/12=54
Each teacher will have to wash approx. 54 cars.
600/12=50
Each teacher will have to wash exactly 50 cars.
650/12=54
Each teacher will have to wash approx. 54 cars.
600/12=50
Each teacher will have to wash exactly 50 cars.
