Systems of Linear Equations Unit Test The Lakewood baseball team is TThe design and The team to the 15 each How many they need to sell to break even ? (

Answer 1

Let x be the number of tickets sold.

Let y be the number of hot dogs sold.

The cost of each ticket is $15 and the cost of each hot dog is $5.

The revenue generated from ticket sales and hot dog sales must equal the total cost of $225.

So, the equation would be:

15x + 5y = 225

Since the team needs to sell enough tickets and hot dogs to break even, the revenue must be equal to the total cost:

15x + 5y = 225

To find the number of tickets they need to sell to break even, we set y (the number of hot dogs sold) to 0:

15x + 5(0) = 225

15x = 225

x = 225 / 15

x = 15

Therefore, the team needs to sell 15 tickets to break even.
