Question

The drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the show's expenses. They are selling both adult tickets and student tickets. The auditorium can hold no more than 100 people. Write an inequality that could represent the possible values for the number of student tickets sold, s, and the number of adult tickets sold, a, that would satisfy the constraint.

The answer needs to be a equation

Answer 1

s + a_<100

Explanation:

Answer 2

The inequality that could represent the possible values for the number of student tickets sold, s, and the number of adult tickets sold, a is:

`s + a\leq 100`

Solution:

Let "s" be the number of student tickets sold

Let "a" be the number of adult tickets sold

The auditorium can hold no more than 100 people.

Therefore, total number of adult and student tickets sold should be less than or equal to 100

number of student tickets sold + number of adult tickets sold
`\leq` 100

Thus a inequality is framed as:

`s + a\leq 100`

s and a are whole numbers less than or equal to 100

Thus the inequality that could represent number of student tickets sold and the number of adult tickets sold is found
