Answer:

The PTA must sell 42 tickets to make a profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we will have to construct an inequality in which $250 is less than our solution.

Let s = student tickets

Since each student ticket is priced at $6.00, the money raised by the student tickets can be represented by the expression:

6s

Since it will cost the PTA $250.00 for the dance, the profit will have to be equal to anything greater than $250.00.

Set up your inequality:

250

Divide both sides of the inequality by the coefficient of s, which is 6:

41.7=s

As you can see, we are left with a decimal, but we will have to round to the nearest whole number as the tickets can only be represented as whole numbers:

42=s

Therefore, the PTA must sell 42 tickets in order to make a profit.

-

You can check your work by substituting the solved value for the tickets into the inequality:

250

250

250

And since $252 is greater than $250 (represents a $2 profit), our solution is correct.

Answer:

42 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a profit, the PTA will need to earn at least $251, because it spent $250 on the dance. so we can divide 251/6 = 41 remainder 5, which means we need to sell 42 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use elimination to get the value of y. Move numbers to one side and x and ys to the other side. To use elimination, multiply the first equation with 2. You will get 2x+2y=24. add it with the equation below. y will be eliminated and you will get the value of x. X=10. Plug in x and get the y value. Y=2
