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)

The symphonic choir and the jazz choir are recording songs for an album. The album can be no more than 72
Brut [27]

Answer:

The maximum number of songs that the symphonic choir can record is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of songs of the symphonic choir

we know that

The number of songs of the jazz choir multiplied by its average time per song plus the the number of songs of the symphonic choir multiplied by its average time per song, must be less than or equal to 72 minutes

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

3(7)+3.5(x)\leq 72

solve for x

21+3.5x\leq 72

subtract 21 both sides

3.5x\leq 51

divide by 3.6 both sides

x\leq 14.6\ songs

therefore

The maximum number of songs that the symphonic choir can record is 14
