Answer:

No, a value of 3.5 for t does not make any sense because it should be a discrete value.

Explanation:

Given equation is:

c = 2.5t

Here,

c = Cost

t = number of tickets

Now,

The value of t cannot be a decimal number but it must be a whole number. Because half ticket cannot be sold.

Hence,

No, a value of 3.5 for t does not make any sense because it should be a discrete value.
