The revenue generated by the band is given by the expression 50x + 150y.
If the band plays 15 weekday shows and 6 weekend shows will they exceed their goal of $1500 or fall short? By how much?

Answer 1

They exceed their goal by $150.

Explanation:

If x = weekday shows and y = weekend shows, then

50(15) + 150(6)

750 + 900 = 1650

1650 - 1500 = 150
