Advance tickets for a school play went on sale. The price of each student ticket was $4 and everyone else paid $5. On the first
day, no more than $80 in tickets were sold. Describe and explain the possible values of s, the number of student tickets sold, and e, the number of tickets sold to nonstudents.
Partial and negative tickets cannot be sold, so the minimum number values of e and s are 0. If s = 0, then e = 16, and if e = 0, then s = 20. Therefore, the values of s are whole numbers from 0 to 20 and the values of e are whole numbers between 0 and 16. The greatest number of student tickets sold was 20 and the greatest number of nonstudent tickets sold was 16.
25/1.75 is approximately 14 30/2.8 is about 10. Because the kids need BOTH ribbon and fabric, only 10 can participate because that's all the fabric available
