Question

Concert tickets cost $15 for general admission, but only $9 with a student ID. Ticket sales total $450. Write and graph an equation that models this situation.
Equation :
x-intercept (x,y) :
y-intercept (x,y) :

Answer 1

The x and y-intercept are given as:

x-intercept (x,y) : (30, 0)

y-intercept (x,y) : (0, 50)

Let the general admission ticket be x

Let the student ID ticket be y

If concert tickets cost $15 for general admission, but only $9 with a student ID, this can be expressed as 15x + 9y

If the total sales is $450, the equation becomes 15x + 9y = 450

The x-intercept occurs at y = 0

15x + 9(0) = 450

15x = 450

x = 30

The x-intercept is at (30, 0)

The y-intercept occurs at x = 0

15(0) + 9y = 450

9y = 450

y = 450/9

The y-intercept is at (0, 50)
