tickets cost $5. If the school sells x child tickets and y adult tickets. Write an inequality
to show how many tickets the school needs to sale in order to raise more than $500.

Answer 1

x is 100 and y is 40

Explanation:

First make 500 into a number where it can be divisable by 3. 5x40=200

500-200=300, 300 divided by 3 equals 100

x=100

y=40
