Question

3 a theater is selling tickets to a play. adult tickets cost $8 each and children’s tickets cost $5 each, they collect $275 after selling x adult tickets and y children’s tickets. graph with x - axis labeled adult tickets sold, y - axis labeled children’s tickets sold, and a point (30, 7) plotted what does the point (30, 7) mean in this situation?

Explanation:

In the context of ticket sales, the x - axis represents adult tickets sold (\(x\)) and the y - axis represents children's tickets sold (\(y\)). For the point \((30,7)\), the x - value is 30 and the y - value is 7. So it means 30 adult tickets and 7 children's tickets are sold. We can also verify the total revenue: \(8\times30 + 5\times7=240 + 35 = 275\), which matches the total collection, confirming the interpretation.

Answer:

The point \((30,7)\) means that when 30 adult tickets are sold, 7 children's tickets are sold (and the total revenue from these sales is \(\$275\), which is consistent with the given situation).
