Question

Write an inequality that models the following situation.

The student council is sponsoring a concert as a fund raiser. Tickets are $3 per student and $5 per adult. The student council wants to raise at least $1,000. If 200 students attend, how many adults must attend?

Answer 1

3x + 5y >= $1,000

The problem says there are 200 students. So replace X with 200. This comes to $600.

$600 + 5y >= $1,000

Subtract both sides by $600 and you get

5y >= $400

solve for y

and you get 80.

So the answer you are looking for is: 600 + 5y >= $1,000

This is your inequality.
