To find out how much you earn for washing 5 cars, we first determine how much you earn per car.
If you earn $36 for washing 6 cars, the earnings per car is: \[ \text{Earnings per car} = \frac{$36}{6} = $6 \]
Now, to find out how much you earn for washing 5 cars, multiply the earnings per car by the number of cars: \[ \text{Earnings for 5 cars} = 5 \times $6 = $30 \]
So, you earn $30 for washing 5 cars.
