Answer:

The number of people who paid $ 12 for reserved seat is 5,000

The number of people who paid $ 4 for general seat is 29,000  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of people attending a ballgame = 34,000

The total receipt of the ticket's seat = $ 176,000

The amount pad for reserved seat = $ 12

The amount paid for general admission = $ 4

Let The number of people for reserved seat = r

And The number of people for general admission = g

Now, According to question

The total number of people attending a ballgame =  The number of people for reserved seat + The number of people for general admission

or, r + g = 34,000           ...........1

The total receipt of the ticket's seat = The amount pad for reserved seat × The number of people for reserved seat + The amount paid for general admission × The number of people for general admission

Or, $ 12 × r + $  ×4 g = $ 176,000           .........2

or, $ 12 × ( r + g ) = $ 12 × 34000

Or, $ 12 r + $ 12 g = $ 408,000

Solving equation

( $ 12 r + $ 12 g ) - ($ 12 r + $ 4 g ) = $ 408,000 - $ 176,000

Or, ( $ 12 r - $ 12 r ) + ( $ 12 g - $ 4 g ) = $ 232,000

Or 0 + 8 g = 232,000

∴  g = \frac{232000}{8}

I.e g = 29,000

So , The number of people for general admission = g = 29,000

Put the value of g in Eq 1

I.e  r + g = 34,000  

or , r = 34,000 - g

∴  r = 34000 - 29000

I.e r = 5,000

So, The number of people for reserved seat = r = 5,000

Hence The number of people who paid $ 12 for reserved seat is 5,000

And The number of people who paid $ 4 for general seat is 29,000  Answer

Jeff sells popcorn for $3 per bag. To make a profit each day, he needs to sell at least $120 worth of popcorn. He has sold $36 w
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The inequality tha can be used to find how many more bags of popcorn Jeff still needs to sell today to make a profit is

x - 12 ≥ 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the number of bags of popcorn as p

Jeff sells popcorn for $3 per bag. To make a profit each day, he needs to sell at least $120 worth of popcorn.

We have the equation:

$3 × p ≥ $120

3p ≥ $120

p ≥ 120/3

p ≥ 40 bags

He must sell at least 40 bags to make a profit

He has sold $36 worth of popcorn today.

1 bag is $3

Hence, he has sold

$36/$3 = 12 bags of popcorn

Which inequality can be used to find Jeff still needs to sell today to make a profit?

This equality is given as:

x - 12 bags ≥ 40 bags

x - 12 ≥ 40

x ≥40 - 12

x ≥ 28 bags

She still need to sell 28 more bags of popcorn.
