Part A: Rhett made $250 washing cars with his mobile car wash company. He charges $70 per car and earned $50 in tips. Write an equation to represent this situation. Part B: 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. Part C: Explain how the equations from Part A and Part B differ.

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total Amount made = $250

Amount charged = $70 per car

Tips earned = $50

Equation 1 to represent the above

(Amount charged per car × number of cars) + tips earned = total amount made

Let number of cars = c

Hence,

$70c + $50 = $250

Part B:

Total Amount made = $250

Amount charged = $75 per car

Tips earned = $35

Cost of supplies per car washed = $5

Equation 2:

(Amount charged per car × number of cars) + tips earned - (cost of supplies × number of cars) = total amount made

$75c + $35 - $5c = $250

$70c + $35 = $250

C) Equation 1 does not include the cost incurred in getting the car washed while equation 2 takes into account the cost incurred in washing a car which is then subtracted from the amount charged per car. Also the tips earned in equation 1 is $50 while equation has a tips fee of $35
