Question

Admission to the movie theater costs $7.50 for adults and $3.50 for students. The theater must bring in at least $200 per movie. Write and graph an inequality for the number of tickets the theater needs to sell to make a profit. If the theater sells 15 adult tickets, how many student tickets do they need to sell to make a profit?

Answer 1

7.50x +3.50y≥200

7.50 (15)=112.5
200-112.5=87.5/3.50=25 student tickets
