Monica’s school band held a car wash to raise money for a trip to a parade in New York City. After washing 125 cars, they made $775 from a combination of $5.00 quick washes and $8.00 premium washes.

Let x represent the number of quick washes and let y represent the number of premium washes. Which system of linear equations represents the situation?

5x + 8y = 775 and x + y =125
5x – 8y = 125 and x + y = 775
5x + 8y = 775 and x – y = 125
5x – 8y = 125 and x – y = 775

5x + 8y = 775 and x + y = 125

Reason: x + y = 125 because total cars washed is 125. 5x + 8y = 775 because quick washes cost $5 and premium washes $8, totaling $775.
