Question

Tyrone needs to buy t theme park tickets for himself and his family. Each ticket costs $60, and the number of tickets he needs to buy can be modeled by the

expression t^2 - 6t - 50 = 5 when t > 0. What is the total cost of the theme park tickets that Steven purchased?

A. $600
B. $820
C. $660
D. $300

Answer 1

C. $660

Step-by-step explanation:

t² - 6t - 50 = 5

t² - 6t - 55 = 0

(t - 11)(t + 5) = 0

t = 11

(Note: t ≠ -5 because the condition is t > 0)

the total ticket cost = 11 × $60

= $660
