Question

The drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the show's expenses. Each student ticket sells for $4.50 and each adult ticket sells for $8.50. The drama club must make no less than $650 from ticket sales to cover the show's costs. Write an inequality that could represent the possible values for the number of student tickets sold, s, and the number of adult tickets sold, a, that would satisfy the constraint.

Answer 1

Answer: (4.50)s + (8.50)a ≥ 650

Explanation:

s = # of student tickets sold

a = # of adult tickets sold

(4.50)s + (8.50)a ≥ 650
