The Opera House sells an average of 1,700 tickets per night when the price of each ticket is $25. An employee of the Opera House

noticed that with every one-dollar decrease in the cost of each ticket, the number of tickets sold increased by 200 tickets.
Write an equation that could be used to determine the number of one-dollar decreases, x, that would yield a revenue of $55,000.

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)

Inequality is
727.29-248.50+x<u>></u>500
x=how much she needs to deposit

subtract 478.79 from both sides
x<u>></u>21.21

You should multiply by 4 before adding 16 to solve the inequality 11 &gt;<br>16​
joja [24]

Answer:

11 >  - 16

False, you should add 16 first to make the equation easier. If you multiplied by 4, you would have to multiply everything by 4, whereas by adding 16 first you only have to solve 27 · 4 to get a.
