The correct answer is 2/3.
Answer:
80 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the profit, y, modeled by the equation, y = x^2 – 40x – 3,200, where x is the number of tickets sold, we are to find the total number of tickets, x, that need to be sold for the drama club to break even. To do that we will simply substitute y = 0 into the given the equation and calculate the value of x;
y = x^2 – 40x – 3,200,
0 = x^2 – 40x – 3,200,
x^2 – 40x – 3,200 = 0
x^2 – 80x + 40x – 3,200 = 0
x(x-80)+40(x-80) = 0
(x+40)(x-80) = 0
x = -40 and x = 80
x cannot be negative
Hence the total number of tickets, x, that need to be sold for the drama club to break even is 80 tickets
It would be sixty six hundred thousand four hundred and seventy-two.
I had this question today. I believe its either D or C, but my friend told me it was D. So, I think it's D. I hoped if this helped you or not. If you get it wrong Im very sorry so it would've been C.
