Question

a hockey team in washington has made it to the playoffs. in order to make a profit on the game, at least $10,000 must be made in sales of lower - level tickets, which cost $58, and luxury box seats, which cost $200. select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. use the following variables.
(x =) the number of lower - level tickets sold
(y =) the number of luxury box tickets sold
(58 + x + 200 + ygeq10,000)
(58x + 200yleq10,000)
(58 + x + 200 + yleq10,000)
(58x + 200ygeq10,000)

Explanation:

Step1: Define total sales

Total sales = $58x + 200y$

Step2: Set inequality for minimum sales

Total sales ≥ 10,000, so $\boldsymbol{58x + 200y \geq 10,000}$

Answer:

$\boldsymbol{58x + 200y \geq 10,000}$
