Question

the drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the shows expenses. each student ticket sells for $7 and each adult ticket sells for $12. the drama club must make no less than $1300 from ticket sales to cover the shows costs. write an inequality that could represent the possible values for the number of student tickets sold, s, and the number of adult tickets sold, a, that would satisfy the constraint.
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Define revenue from student tickets

Revenue from student tickets: $7s$

Step2: Define revenue from adult tickets

Revenue from adult tickets: $12a$

Step3: Set total revenue constraint

Total revenue ≥ $1300$, so sum the two revenue terms and set the inequality.
$7s + 12a \geq 1300$

Answer:

$7s + 12a \geq 1300$
