Question

You are the owner of the biggest and newest roller coaster called the Gentle Giant. The roller coaster costs $6 to ride. The operator of the ride must pay $200 per day for the ride rental and $65 per day for a safety inspection. If you want to make a profit of at least $1,000 each day, what is the minimum number of people that must ride the roller coaster? Write an inequality that can be used to find the minimum number of people, , which must ride the roller coaster each day to make the daily profit.

Answer 1

Answer:

Inequality: 6r - 200 - 65 $\geq$ 1000  and minimum of 211 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = rides

6r - 200 - 65 $\geq$ 1000

6r - 265 $\geq$ 1000

6r $\geq$ 1265

r $\geq$ 210 $\frac{5}{6}$

Needs 211 people to make a profit of at least $1000
