Question

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 5 x plus 10 y equals 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?

55
60
130
150

Answer 1

5x + 10(50) = 800 → 5x + 500 = 800 → 5x = 300 → x = 60.
