The theater has already sold 7p tickets. Write and solve an inequality that represents how many more tickets the theater needs t
o sell to earn at least $1000.
1 answer:
The theater must sell more than 35 tickets to earn at least $1000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of one student ticket = $9.50
Tickets already sold = 70
Cost of 70 tickets = 70*9.50 = $665
Worth to be made by selling tickets = $1000
Let,
x be the number of tickets to be sold.
According to statement;
The theater wants to earn $1000 minimum, therefore,
Cost of one ticket*Number of tickets to be sold + cost of 70 tickets > Total worth to be earned
Dividing both sides by 9.50
Rounding off to nearest whole number
x>35
The theater must sell more than 35 tickets to earn at least $1000.

The graph that correctly shows the minimum amount due for a credit amount (x) is graph B.
<h3>How to determine the graph with the minimum amount due?</h3>First of all, we would assign a variable to the different amount of money as follows:
- Let x be the credit amount.
- Let y be the minimum amount due.
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
For a bill of less than $100, the entire amount is due:
0 ≤ x < $100, therefore, y = x
For a bill of at least $100 but less than $500, the minimum due is $100: $100 ≤ x < $500, therefore, y = 100
For a bill of at least $500 but less than $1,000, the minimum due is $300:
$500 ≤ x < $1000, therefore, y = $300
For a bill of $1,000 or more, the minimum due is $500:
Since the credit limit is equal to $2000, we have $1000 ≤ x < $2000 and y = $500
In conclusion, the graph that correctly shows the minimum amount due for a credit amount (x) is graph B.
