Question

The organizers of a drama club wanted to sell 350 tickets to their show.The actual sales were no more than 35 tickets from his goal.Write an d solve an absolute value inequality to find the range of the number of tickets that could have been sold

Answer 1

We know that the deviation from the 350 goal was 35. Therefore we can write the equation |350 - x| <= 35 where x is the amount of tickets actually sold. The answer to the problem can be solved with basic algebra and x is equal to 315 - 385
