Question

A booster club sells raffle tickets • Before tickets go on sale to the public, 120 tickets are sold to student athletes. • After tickets go on sale to the public, the tickets sell at a constant rate for a total of 8 hours spread over I days. • At the end of this time, all tickets have been sold. If represents the hours since tickets go on sale to the public and represents the number of raffle tickets sold, which graph best represents the scenario?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The top graph.

Step by step:

Before the tickets go on sale, 120 tickets were already sold.

After that, the tickets sell at a constant rate for a total of 8 hours.

At the end of this time, all the tickets were sold (we have 0 tickets left)

If x (horizontal axis) represents the hours since tickets go on sale, and y (vertical axis) represents the number of raffle tickets sold.

Then, at x = 0, we should already see y = 120

Because we start with 120 tickets sold.

Then, as x increases, the number of tickets sold also should increase, until we get x = 8 hours, where y stops increasing because all tickets are already sold.

Then we should have an increasing line that stops increasing at x = 8 hours.

Then the correct option is the above graph, where we have:

An increasing line.

y = 120 in the vertical axis (y = 120 when x = 0)
