Answer 2

165

Explanation:

To solve the absolute value equation, first rewrite the equation as two separate equations equal to -100 and 100:

8t − 1,220 = -100 8t − 1,220 = 100

8t = 1,120 8t = 1,320

t = 140 t = 165

To earn within $100 of its goal, the theater club needs to sell a minimum of 140 tickets and a maximum of 165 tickets.
