Answer:
They exceed their goal by $150.
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = weekday shows and y = weekend shows, then
50(15) + 150(6)
750 + 900 = 1650
1650 - 1500 = 150
The solution is y < -1/5
In order to find the answer to this problem, follow the order of operations for solving equations/inequalities.
444 + 555y < 333 -----> Subtract 444 from both sides
555y < -111 -----> Divide both sides by 555
y < -1/5
As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)
