Question

A company provides bus trips to various events for adults and children. The company charges $15 for each adult and $8 for each child for a trip to an upcoming play. The bus has a maximum capacity of 40 people, and the company needs to earn a minimum of $400 from this event to make a profit. Write a system of inequalities that represents this situation and graph it.

Answer 1

x+y=40

15x+8y=400

Explanation:

x= Adults

y= Children

$15 dollars per "X" adults + $8 dollars per "Y" children = 400 dollars, and "X" adults + "Y" children = 40 people on the bus.
