(a) Write two equations showing the money the club raised each week, where x is the amount earned per T-shirt sold and y is the amount earned per car washed. Explain how you came up with each of your equations and what the values in your equations represent. 2 points
(b) How much does the Soccer Club charge for a T-shirt? Show your work. 1 point
(c) How much does the Soccer Club charge for a car wash? Show your work. 1 point

Answer 1

15x = 292.50
Divide 15 from both sides
X= 5.85
1 T-shirt = $5.85

45x = 747.50
Divide 45 from both sides
X= 16.61

1 T-shirt = $ 16.61
