Question

''Please Help!!'' says Kuku and Yaya

A middle-school band holds a car wash to raise money. The sixth-grade band members wash 16 cars. The seventh-grade band members wash 75% as many cars as the sixth-graders. The eighth-grade band members wash half as many cars as the sixth- and seventh-grade band members combined.
If the band charges $5 per car, how much money did the members raise altogether?

Answer 1

6th grade wash 16 cars
7th grade was 75% as many as 6th grade....0.75(16) = 12 cars washed
8th grade wash half as many as 6th and 7th combined...(12 + 16) / 2 =
28/2 = 14 cars washed

total cars washed : (16 + 12 + 14) = 42 cars
at $ 5 per car.....42 * 5 = $ 210 <===

Answer 2

Answer:

42 cars and $210

Hope this helps! Good luck! :)
