please help

OpenStudy (narissa):

i think one answer is the second one

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Think about the fact that the manager wants to collect at least $1000 from ticket sales too.

OpenStudy (narissa):

ok

OpenStudy (narissa):

2nd fourth and fifth

Directrix (directrix):

x = number of regular tickets sold y = number of student tickets sold Money from Regular Tickets: 12*x Money from Student Tickets: 8*y Total Ticket Sales: 12x + 8y 12x + 8y must be greater than or equal to 1000 because the manager wants to collect at least 1000 from ticket sales.

OpenStudy (narissa):

am i right?

Directrix (directrix):

No.

Directrix (directrix):

Not the fifth because it is less than or equal to. You want greater than or equal to for: Total Ticket Sales: 12x + 8y

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Try again :-)

Directrix (directrix):

@narissa I agree with the second option but not the fifth. Try again.

Directrix (directrix):

Don't give up.

2nd and fourth

OpenStudy (narissa):

i meant third

@Nnesha

Directrix (directrix):

For sure, this is one of the answers: 12x + 8y ≥ 1000 The money the manager collects from the tickets would be greater than or equal to 1000.

Directrix (directrix):

That is the 6th option. If it is correct, then that eliminates options 4 and 5.

Directrix (directrix):

x and y are the numbers of tickets sold. That knocks out option 1.

Directrix (directrix):

Now, is option 2 correct or is option 3 correct? Or, perhaps neither.

Directrix (directrix):

Look at option 3. x + y ≥ 200 Multiply each term by 5 5x + 5y ≥ 1000 That cannot be true because 12x + 8y ≥ 1000.

Directrix (directrix):

Which is the other true option in adddition to option 6? @narissa
