So here's the solution to the problem:
Calculate the average sell:
1,700 * $25 = $42,500 (revenue)
And if the Opera House wants to increase their revenue:
The price of a ticket will be:
$25 - x (where x is the number of 1-dollar decreases)
The number of tickets in total:
1,700 + 200x
Therefore the equation is:
(1,700 +200x) * ( 25 - x ) = 55,000
We can also solve this equation, but the solutions are not whole numbers.
x 1 = 5.89 and x 2 =10.6
For x = 6 (6 times 1 - dollar decreases):
( 1,700 + 200 * 6 ) * ( 25 - 6 ) = ( 1,700 + 1,200 ) * 18
=2,900 *19 = 55,100 (we will yield the revenue over $55,000)
Answer:
y=5/4x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
Honestly, I just guessed and checked, but here is a picture of evidence.
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
7*x-4-(21)=0
Solve : 7x-25 = 0
Add 25 to both sides of the equation :
7x = 25
Divide both sides of the equation by 7:
x = 25/7 = 3.571
The number is assumed to be x
x of 40% = 56
x * (40/100) = 56
x = 5600 / 40
x = 140
