Question

A car wash attendant counted the number of cars washed and the total amount of money earned. The company charged the same price for each car washed and earned $165 for 15 cars, $231 for 21 cars, and $275 for 25 cars. Write an equation for the relationship between the number of cars washed, n, and the number of dollars earned, m.

Answer 1

The answer is m(n)= 11n
If you take the different of the money from 21 cars and 25 cars, you get 44 and since 21 and 25 is only a difference of 4, you’ll divide the 44 earned by the 4 cars washed to get $11 per car and then just make sure to use the correct variables
