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. what is the equation?

The equation is 5x + 10y = 800

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain what is the equation and how can we make one

- The equation is a mathematical statement that two things are equal.

- It consists of two expressions, one on each side of an equal sign (=).

* Lets solve the problem

- There are two types of vehicles, large one and small one

- The cost of washing the small vehicle is $5

- The cost of washing the larger vehicle is $10

- They collected from washing both is $800

- To make an equation for the amount collected let the number of the

 small vehicles is x and the number of the large vehicles is y

∵ x is the number of the small vehicles were washed

∵ y is the number of the large vehicles were washed

∵ The cost of washing the small vehicle is $5

∵ The cost of washing the larger vehicle is $10

∴ The money collected from the small vehicles = 5 × x = 5x

∴ The money collected from the large vehicles = 10 × y = 10y

- find the total money collected from both

∴ The amount of money collected from both = 5x + 10y

∵ The amount of money collected is $800

- Equate the two expressions above

∴ 5x + 10y = 800

* The equation is 5x + 10y = 800

the answer is 31.27mph
