Question

Tickets to a basketball game cost $4.25. Sixty tickets have already been sold. How many more tickets x must be sold to earn at least $340? Write your answer as an inequality.

Answer 1

Cost of 1 ticket = $4.25

Number of tickets sold = 60

Total money incurred =
`60*4.25=255`

As total money that must be earned = 340

Let the number of tickets to be sold be = x

Inequality becomes

`4.25x+255\geq340`

Solving it we get, x=20
