Question

The school band director determined from past experience that if they charge t dollars for a ticket to the concert, they can expect attendance of 1000-50t. The director used this model to figure out that the ticket price needs to be $8 or greater in order for at least 600 to attend. Do you agree with his claim? Why or why not?

Answer 1

You, don't agree with the claim. Valid claim, t ≤$8

Step-by-step explanation:

From experience as mentioned in the question, charging $ t , the expected attendance is 1000-50t.

If price of the ticket is t ≥$8, then attendance will be ≥600.

Checking the validity of this claim, lets assume t=$8 and use it in the equation;

Attendance= 1000-50t

Attendance=1000-50*8

Attendance=1000-400=600

However for t=9, attendance will be 1000-50*9=1000-450=550

This shows that for the number of people attending to be 600 and more, the value of t in dollars should be $8 or less, thus the claim in not valid.
