Question

the drama club is selling tickets for their spring play.

• each ticket costs $7.50.
• the club needs to raise at least $600 to cover production costs.

what is the least number of tickets they must sell to meet their goal?

Explanation:

Step1: Define variable for ticket count

Let $n$ = number of tickets sold.

Step2: Set up inequality for revenue

Total revenue: $7.50n \geq 600$

Step3: Solve for $n$

$n \geq \frac{600}{7.50}$
$n \geq 80$
Since tickets are whole numbers, 80 is the minimum.

Answer:

80
