The drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the show's expenses. Each student ticket sells for $5.50 and

each adult ticket sells for $7.50. The auditorium can hold a maximum of 140 people. The drama club must make at least $910 from ticket sales to cover the show's costs. If 66 student tickets were sold, determine the minimum number of adult tickets that the drama club must sell in order to meet the show's expenses. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to assume that the show is sold out.  If 66 student tickets were sold, we only have 74 adult tickets to sell.  Based on that information, we then have to use an inequality to find out if the number of adult tickets we have to sell to meet our money requirements is more than the amount of seating we have left after 66 seats were taken by students.  Our inequality looks like this:

5.50(66) + 7.50(a) ≥ 910 and

363 + 7.50a ≥ 910 and

7.50a ≥ 547 so

a ≥ 73

In order to meet our money requirement, we have to sell 73 adult tickets.  Since we have 74 seats left, we are good.

A farmer has 20 acres to plant in wheat and barley. He has to plant at least 15 acres. Wheat costs $200 per acre to plant and ba
maria [59]

Answer:

  • 16 acres of barley only (no acres of wheat)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph shows cost of planting puts an upper limit on planted area. The lower limit is provided by the requirement to plant at least 15 acres. The vertices of the feasible solution region are ...

  (wheat acres, barley acres) = {(0, 15), (0, 16), (3, 12)}

The profit associated with these scenarios will be ...

  for (0, 16): 16·350 = 5600

  for (3, 12): 3·450 +12·350 = 1350 +4200 = 5550

To maximize profit, the farmer should plant 16 acres of barley.

Angle of the Sun A 96-ft tree casts a shadow that is 120 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun
scoray [572]

Answer:

The angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

height of the tree, h = 96 ft

length of the shadow, L = 120 ft

                                                   |

                                                   | 96ft

                                                   |

                                                   |

       θ------------------------------------

                    120ft

Completing this triangle to cut across the top of the tree gives you a right angled triangle with θ as the angle of elevation of the sun.

Apply trig-ratio to determine the angle of elevation of the sun;

tanθ = opposite side / adjacent side

tanθ = 96 / 120

tanθ = 0.8

θ = tan⁻¹(0.8)

θ = 38.7⁰

θ = 39⁰

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰
