Question

A high school drama club is putting on their annual theater production there is a maximum of 800 tickets for the show the cost of the tickets are six dollars before the day of the show and nine dollars on the day of the show to meet the expenses of the shelf book club must sell at least $5000 worth of tickets

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) Let x be the number of tickets sold before the event and y the number of tickets sold on the day of the event. Then x + y =< 800 and 6x + 9y >= 5000. (b.) Suppose the club sold 440 tickets before the event, i.e. x = 440, maximum number of tickets remaining to be sold = 800 - 440 = 360. Maximum amount realized from the sales supposing all tickets were sold = 6(440) + 9(360) = 2640 + 3240 = $5880 which is greater than $5000. Therefore, it is possible for the club to sell enough additional tickets on the day of the show to meet the expenses of the show.
