Hello welcome to QuestionCove o:
So for A the best way to set up the question would be
70x+50=250
The x is because it's 70 per car, so 70 multipled by the number of cars
The 50 is because that is the total amount of tips he made
The 250 is just the overall total
Can you try to set up part B in a similar manner to what I did above?
