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.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If taxes have been underpaid, it won’t matter to the IRS who is responsible. If the return was filed jointly, the government can go after both even if one didn’t personally earn one penny of the reported income.

Hence in the given case,

For the unpaid amount of $38,200 IRS can assess either Mr.peterson or Mrs.Peterson for the entire deficiency as both are jointly and severally liable for the tax paid before they got divorced.

An object is dropped from a bridge and allowed to freefall to the ground. The height of the object over time can be modeled usin
kkurt [141]

Answer:

<em>t = 3 seconds</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation, as a function of time, that describes the height of the object that is dropped from the bridge.

The equation is:

h (t) = 144 - 16t ^ 2

Where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet.

To know how long it takes the object to fall to the ground we do h (t) = 0 and solve for t.

So:

0 = 144 - 16t ^ 2\\\\16t ^ 2 = 144\\\\t ^ 2 = \frac{144}{16}\\\\t ^ 2 = 9\\\\t_1 = 3\\t_2 = -3

We take the positive solution.

Therefore the object takes 3 seconds to reach the ground
