"At a school sponsored car wash, the fees charged were: $5 per car, $8 per truck, $10 per van. Twice as many cars were washed as pickup trucks. The amount collected for washing cars and pickup trucks was $360. A total of $410 was collected. Let x represent cars, y trucks, z vans, write 3 equations, and find the number of each car washed"

Question

C=2T 360=5C+8T 410=5C+8T+10V check my thinking.

GanonTEK · Answer

here is a hint, if trucks = x then cars = 2x then x + 2x = $360 see if you can get the rest now. just write what they told you in equation for. hope that helps

GanonTEK · Answer

sorry, i made a mistake 8(x) + 5(2x) = 360 8 per truck, 5 per car
