Question

"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"

Answer 1

C=2T
360=5C+8T
410=5C+8T+10V

check my thinking.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

sorry, i made a mistake

8(x) + 5(2x) = 360

8 per truck, 5 per car
