Question

The manager of the zoo where the ticket price for an adult is $9.50 and the ticket price for a child is $6.50 wants to make at least $800 on a Saturday. Let x be the number of adult tickets and y be the number of child tickets. Choose the inequality that shows the numbers of tickets that need to be sold.

1. A
2. 9.50x + 6.50y ≥ 800
3. B
4. 9.50x + 6.50y < 800
5. C
6. 9.50x + 6.50y > 800
7. D.
8. 9.50x + 6.50y ≤ 800

Answer 1

The answer is A. Since an adult ticket is 9.50, 9.50x id the total paid for adults. Similarly, 6.50y is the total paid for children. Since the desired total paid for everyone is 800, 9.50x+6.50y >= 800
