10c + 13v = 1600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c and v represent the numbers of cars and vans that must be washed. To raise exactly $800, the values of c and v must satisfy ...

5c + 6.5v = 800

To put this in standard form, we must make the second coefficient an integer. We can do that by multiplying by 2.

10c + 13v = 1600
