Explanation:

adult = x

student = y

The auditorium can hold up to 500 people (student and adult)

x + y ≤ 500

Their goal is to raise at least 50.000

10x + 8y ≥ 50.000 or

5x + 4y ≥ 25000

(i think it's impossible to reach this only from ticket)

so the inequalities work in this case is

x + y ≤ 500

5x + 4y ≥ 25000

x > 0

y > 0
