Leila wrote an equation to represent the revenue of a parking lot for one day. She let x represent the number of cars that paid to park and y represent the number of trucks that paid to park. If a car costs 8 dollars per day, a truck costs 10 dollars per day, and the total revenue for the day was 830 dollars , which equation could Leila use to represent the number of cars and trucks that paid to park that day?
Answer
A
10 x plus 8 y is equal to 830
B
10 x plus 8 y is equal to 1 comma 660
C
8 x plus 10 y is equal to 1 comma 660
D
8 x plus 10 y is equal to 830
Explanation
Each car brings in $8, so x cars bring in 8x dollars. Each truck brings in $10, so y trucks bring in 10y dollars. The total revenue is $830, giving the equation 8x + 10y = 830. This is choice D.
