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.

no because mathematically 30X10=300 not 900 its would have to be 30X30 to get the product of 900 so therefore no your statement is incorrect

How do i solve y+4=4/3(x+1)
ICE Princess25 [194]
Y + 4 = 4/3(x + 1)...first we distribute
y + 4 = 4/3x + 4/3 ...now we subtract 4 from both sides
y = 4/3x + 4/3 - 4
y = 4/3x + 4/3 - 12/3
y = 4/3x - 8/3 <======
u will have a slope of 4/3....and a  y int of (0,-8/3)...ur x int is (2,0)

in standard form, it is :
y = 4/3x - 8/3
-4/3x + y = -8/3
4x - 3y = 8....in case u need to find some points to graph

coldgirl [10]
Write and solve an equation of ratios to answer this.

2.25 cup              x
-------------- = -------------
0.375 cup          1 cup
                                                                                  2.25
cross-multiplying, 2.25 = 0.375x.  Solving for x, x = ---------- = 6
                                                                                   0.375

Brianna would need to use 6 cups of flour if she wants the mixture to contain 1 cup of baking soda.

The difference between two numbers is 7194. If the subtrahend is 12,806, find the minuend.
valentina_108 [34]

<u>Answer:</u> The minuend is 20000

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To calculate the minuend, we use the equation:

\text{Subtrahend}=\text{Minuend-Difference}

We are given:

Difference between the two numbers = 7194

Subtraend = 12806

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Minuend}=12806+7194\\\\\text{Minuend}=20000

Hence, the minuend is 20000
