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.

Answer 1

:)

Explanation:

15x + 12y ≥ 3000

Number of floor seats tickets sold = x

Number of balcony seats tickets sold = y

Cost of floor tickets = $15

Cost of balcony tickets = $12

They want to make at least $3,000 in ticket sales.

At least in inequality means ≥

The inequality that represent the situation is 15x + 12y ≥ 3000

Answer 2

15x + 12y ≥ 3000

Explanation:

Let

Number of floor seats tickets sold = x

Number of balcony seats tickets sold = y

Cost of floor tickets = $15

Cost of balcony tickets = $12

They want to make at least $3,000 in ticket sales.

At least in inequality means ≥

The inequality that represent the situation is

15x + 12y ≥ 3000
