Question

Tickets for the fall dance are 5$ per person or $8 for couples. In order to cover expenses, at least $1200 worth of tickets must be sold. Write an inequality that represents this situation.

Answer 1

✡ Answer: $5+$8p=1200 ✡

- - Why?

If you take the cost per person and for couples, you are adding them together.

Now you are going to multiply it by "x" because in this case, x is representing the number of people who actually bought the tickets.

Now you want to write a equal sign because you need it to solve up to $1200 (the cost you need to atleast get)
