Question
You want to purchase at least 10 tickets to a baseball game, but can spend at most $200. Lower level tickets &8 each, while upper level tickets cost $5. Write and graph a system of inequalities to represent the situation. Give two possible combinations of the number of lower level tickets and upper level tickets that you can purchase.
Answers
Reiny
let the number of lower tickets be x
let the number of upper tickets be y
x+y ≥10 ---> y ≥ -x + 10
8x + 5y ≤ 200 ---> y ≤ - (8/5)x + 40
sketch both inequalities then pick any two points in their intersection.
