Question

A high school club has a performance, with 800 tickets to sell. Tickets are $6 before the day of the show, and $9 on the day of the show. They must sell $5000 in tickets. How do i write a system of inequalities to represent the equation,

Answer 1

a) Let x = number of presale tickets
y = number of day of show tickets

x + y =< 800
6x + 9y >= 5000

b) 6x + 9y >=5000
6(440) + 9y >=5000

y >= 262.2
263 tickets

440 advance purchase tickets added to 263 day of show tickets is 703 tickets, which is below the 800 ticket maximum.
