Question

The organizers of a charity concert hope to raise at least $15,000 from ticket sales. They make $25 from each adult ticket sold and $15 from each youth ticket.
Select two of the combinations of adult and youth tickets sold that would allow the organizers of the concert to meet their goal.

A. 450 youth and 250 adult tickets

B. 400 youth and 360 adult tickets

C. 350 youth and 300 adult tickets

D. 320 youth and 400 adult tickets

E. 240 youth and 480 adult tickets

Answer 1

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.
