Question

Scarlett made a profit of $250.00 with her mobile car wash company. She charged $75.00 per car wash and received $35.00 in tips, but also had to pay $5.00 in cleaning supplies per car wash. Write an equation to represent this situation.

Answer 1

Do you know where to start?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

(75x + 35) = 250 - 5x

Here to form an equation you must add all the money that she earned and subtract the money that she had to spend.

We dont know how many car washes she did, so we must represent it with a variable, or x.
