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 5x 10y = 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?

The number of small vehicles washed in total = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of money that soccer team selected at a car wash fundraiser = $800

Amount of money charged for small vehicles = $5

Amount of money charged for larger vehicles = $10

The amount collected can be modeled by the equation 5x + 10y = 800 , where x represents the number of small vehicles and y represents the number of larger vehicles

Now, the number of larger vehicles washed was 50 and we need to find the number of small vehicles washed.

So, y = 50 and find the value of x from the modeled equation

⇒ 5x + 10y = 800

⇒ 5x + 10 × 50 = 800

⇒ 5x + 500 = 800

⇒ 5x = 300

⇒ x = 60

Thus, The number of small vehicles washed in total = 60
