Question

Write a linear inequality to represent the information given. The total fees for the high school play are $220. Tickets to the play cost $5 for students and $7 for nonstudents. Write a linear inequality that describes the number of student and nonstudent tickets that need to be sold for the drama class to be able to pay the fees. Let x represent the number of student tickets and let y represent the number of nonstudent tickets.

Answer 1

Answer:

$5x + $7y ≥ $220

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Fees = $220

Total income is $5x plus $7y

Income = $5x + $7y

We want the total income to be equal to, or greater than, $220:

$5x + $7y ≥ $220
