Question

The volleyball team and the wrestling team at Stamford High School are having a joint car wash today,

Answer 1

Answer:

Money raised by each team = 94 + 11 = $105

Number of cars washed = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Money already present with volleyball team = $50

Money raised by washing each car by volleyball team = $5

Let the number of cars washed = $x$

Money raised by washing cars = $5$x$

Money already present with volleyball team = $94

Money raised by washing each car by volleyball team = $1

Money raised by washing cars = $1$x$ = $$x$

Given that, both the teams have raised same amount of money:

$50+5x=94+x\\\Rightarrow 44=4x\\\Rightarrow x=11$

Money raised by each team = 94 + 11 = $105

Number of cars washed = 11
