The drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the show's expenses. Each student ticket sells for $4 and each adult ticket sells for $8.50. The auditorium can hold at most 79 people. The drama club must make no less than $460 from ticket sales to cover the show's costs. If 53 student tickets were sold, determine the minimum number of adult tickets that the drama club must sell in order to meet the show's expenses. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

Answer:

There is no way.

Explanation:

4 x 53 = 212.

460 - 212 = 248.

The mininmum adult tickets you would need is 29 but that would go over the capacity
