Question

WILL UPVOTE ANYTHING

Ariela is selling tickets to a play. Adult tickets cost $12.25 and children's tickets cost $8.75. The total amount of money she collects from ticket sales is at least $90.

Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold. Let y represent the number of children's tickets sold.

Enter an inequality that represents the situation.

Answer 1

12.25x+8.75y ≥ 90

Explanation:

if it's less than or equal to 90 as it states in the question, then she can earn AT LEAST $90, but she could sell more.

Answer 2

12.25x + 8.75y ≥ 90

The sum of the total amount of adult tickets sold plus the total amount of children's tickets sold is greater than or equal to 90.
