Question

A fair rents a thrill ride for $3000. It cost $4 to purchase a token for the ride. Write and solve an inequality to determine the number of rides tokens that can be sold for the fair to make a profit of at least $750

Answer 1

Answer:

x >= 937.5

Step-by-step explanation:

profit of 750 means you must add that to 3000 as a goal $, so 3750.

Each ticket is $4, so they must sell 4x tickets. (x is unknown)

but "at least" 3750. so we will have an inequality with 4x larger than or equal to our 3750.

so our equation is

4x >= $3750

solve for x. divide both by 4 you get

x >= 937.5

hope that helps.
