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? 55 60 130 150

Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 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 :

[tex]5x + 10y = 800[/tex], where x represents the number of small vehicles and y represents the number of larger vehicles.

When y=50 , then we have

[tex]5x + 10(50)= 800\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x+500=800\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x=300\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{300}{5}=60[/tex]

Hence, the number of small vehicles were washed in total = 60
