Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A and Y be the numbers of Adult and Youth tickets.

We can calculate total sales with:

25A + 15Y = Total Sales

Since the goal is to earn at least $15,000:

25A + 15Y ≥ $15,000

See the attachment for the calculations. Options A and B both provide at least $15,000.
