Question

At the local ballpark, the team charges $5 for each ticket and expects to make $1,100 in concessions. The team must pay its players $1,900 and pay all other workers $1,600. Each fan gets a free bat that costs the team $1 per bat. Write and solve a system of equations to determine how many tickets must be sold to break even. (Remember that to break even, the income must equal the costs.)

Answer 1

Let x = number of tickets sold

Income = 5x + 1100

Costs = 1900 + 1600 + x = x + 3500

Break even when Income = Costs

5x + 1100 = 3500 + x

4x = 2400

x = 600

Answer 2

5x=1100-1900-1600-x

6x=-2400

x=400
