Question

A band is playing at an auditorium with floor seats and

balcony seats.
The band wants to sell the floor tickets for $15 each
and balcony tickets for $12 each.
They want to make at least $3,000 in ticket sales.
Write an inequality whose solutions are the number of
floor and balcony tickets sold if they make at least
$3,000 in ticket sales.
Let x represent floor tickets and let y represent
balcony tickets.

Answer 1

15x+13y> 3,000

Explanation:

We know that the floor ticket cost 15$ and the balcony cost 12$ so we put that in an inequality with their given variables. We also know they want to make more than 3,000 so it is a greater than symbol.
