Question

a scouting troop from burlington is organizing a crab feed to raise money for camp. they need to make at least $920 to cover the costs of the camp. tickets for the crab dinner sell for $20.07 apiece. those people who dont like crab can purchase the vegetarian dinner ticket for $17.40 each. write the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. use the given numbers and x = the number of crab dinners sold y = the number of alternative dinners sold

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the revenue - generating elements

The revenue from selling crab dinners is $20.07x$ (since each crab dinner is sold for $20.07$ and $x$ is the number of crab dinners sold). The revenue from selling alternative dinners is $17.40y$ (since each alternative dinner is sold for $17.40$ and $y$ is the number of alternative dinners sold).

Step2: Set up the inequality based on the goal

The scouting troop needs to make at least $920$. So the sum of the revenue from crab dinners and alternative dinners must be greater than or equal to $920$.
$20.07x + 17.40y\geq920$

Answer:

$20.07x + 17.40y\geq920$
