Complete Question
The manager of the zoo where the ticket price for an adult is $9.50 and the ticket price for a child is $6.50 wants to make at least $800 on a Saturday. Let x be the number of adult tickets and y be the number of child tickets. Choose the inequality that shows the numbers of tickets that need
A) 9.50x + 6.50y ≥ 800
B) 9.50x + 6.50y < 800
C) 9.50x + 6.50y > 800
D) 9.50x + 6.50y ≤ 800
Answer:
A) 9.50x + 6.50y ≥ 800
Explanation:
Let x be the number of adult tickets and y be the number of child tickets
We are told that the zoo wants to make at least $800, this means greater than or equal to $800
Therefore, inequality equation is given as:
$9.50 × x + $6.50 × y ≥ 800
= 9.50x + 6.50y ≥ 800
Therefore option A) 9.50x + 6.50y ≥ 800 is correct.
