Question

Jett has to sell carnival tickets worth at least $50. The price of a child ticket is $4, and the price of an adult ticket is $6. Let x be the number of child tickets sold and y be the number of adult tickets sold. Which of the following equations best models this situation.

Answer 1

Data:

Child ticket: c

Adult ticket: a

c= $4

a= $6

x = number of child tickets

y= number of adult tickets

As Jeff has to sell the tickets for at least (greather than or equal to) $50

The function that represents this situation is:

`\begin{gathered} cx+ay\ge50 \\ 4x+6y\ge50 \end{gathered}`
