To formulate the inequality that represents the situation described, we can start by using the revenue generated from the two types of tickets being sold.
Regular tickets cost $72 each, so the revenue from regular tickets can be represented as \(72x\), where \(x\) is the number of regular tickets sold.
Discounted tickets cost $17 each, so the revenue from discounted tickets can be represented as \(17y\), where \(y\) is the number of discounted tickets sold.
The total revenue from both types of tickets must be at least $6,100. Therefore, we can express this as an inequality:
\[
72x + 17y \geq 6100
\]
