the price of the ticket which Disney on ice would make no money at all is:


(x-8)(450-3x)=0

and here, are two posible solutions:


\begin{gathered} 1)x-8=0 \\ 2)450-3x=0 \end{gathered}

for the first one 1)


x=8

for the second one 2)


\begin{gathered} 450=3x \\ (450)/(3)=x \\ 150=x \end{gathered}

and in this problem the realistic answer is the first one, so the solution is $8 dollars
