A local band is holding a concert. The price of a ticket to the concert is $15. The band must sell enough tickets to cover at least the $525 cost of renting the gym. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many tickets must be sold to at least cover the cost of the gym.

OpenStudy (igreen):

We can write the inequality: \(15x \ge 525\) They need to sell at least enough to get 525.

OpenStudy (igreen):

To solve it, you have to divide 15 to both sides, what's 525 / 15? @shifuyanli

OpenStudy (anonymous):

35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thik I got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is correct @shifuyanli

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, so that gives us \(x \ge 35\) So they must sell at least 35 tickets.
