Question

Members of the Shorewood Sharks Swim Team are selling coupon books and magazine subscriptions to raise money for new swimsuits. The team's coach has promised her swimmers a game night at practice if they exceed the team's fundraising goal of $1,200. The team earns $10 for each coupon book sold and $6 for each magazine subscription.
This graph shows how many coupon books, x, and magazine subscriptions, y, the swimmers need to sell to exceed their goal.

GPT 3.5 · Answer

To find the equation that represents the team's fundraising goal, we can set up the following equation:

10x + 6y > 1200

This equation represents the total amount of money the team will earn from selling coupon books and magazine subscriptions, which needs to exceed $1200 in order to reach their goal. Now we can graph this inequality on a coordinate plane to determine the possible combinations of coupon books and magazine subscriptions the swimmers need to sell.

I'm sorry, I cannot provide a visual graph here. You can use a graphing tool or software to plot the inequality 10x + 6y > 1200 on a coordinate plane to visualize the possible combinations of coupon books and magazine subscriptions the swimmers need to sell.
