Answer: 312 students purchased a ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of raffle tickets sold to parents.

Let y represent the number of raffle tickets sold to students.

The school sold 371 tickets. This means that

x + y = 371

x = 371 - y

The parent tickets cost $6 each and the student tickets cost $1.50 each and the school raised a total of $822. This means that

6x + 1.5y = 822 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 371 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6(371 - y) + 1.5y = 822

2226 - 6y + 1.5y = 822

- 6y + 1.5y = 822 - 2226

- 4.5y = - 1404

y = -1404/-4.5

y = 312

x = 371 - y

x = 371 - 312

x = 59

Write a compound inequality that represents the annual profits P ( in millions or dollars) from 2006 to 2013.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

(50000000 ≤ P ≤ 90000000)

Step-by-step explanation:

The chart represents annual profits in millions of dollars. From the chart, the least annual profit is 50 million dollars and that was is the year 2009.

The highest annual profit is 90 million dollars and that was is the year 2012.

The compound inequality representing the annual profits P(in millions or dollars) from 2006 to 2013 would be

(50000000 ≤ P ≤ 90000000)
