The simplest interpretation would go a little something like this:
We know that we want the total donation amount to be more than $7,900, so we can set up this inequality to begin with
Where D is the total donations raised (in dollars). How do we find D? Well, we just add up the total number of table reservations sold and the total number of single tickets sold. If we let r stand for the number of reservation tickets and s stand for the number of single tickets, then we have
So, the inequality representing this situation would be
And that would probably be fine for this problem.
