Question

E

Marty wants to earn at least $175 for his senior trip by selling fundraiser tickets. Marty has already sold $56 worth of
tickets to the concert. He sells his remaining tickets at a price of $6.23 per ticket. Write an inequality for this
situation.

Answer 1

56+6.23t≥175

Explanation:

t=number of tickets

Marty needs at least $175. He already has $56. He keeps selling tickets for $6.23 per ticket. He needs to get at least $175, but he could get more. So 56, the amount of money he already has, plus 6.23 times the amount of tickets he will sell has to equal or be higher than $175.
