The Booster Club has a goal of raising at least $300. The Club has already raised $150. The Booster Club is sponsoring a pancake breakfast and charging $4.00 per ticket. What inequality would represent the number of tickets (t) that the Booster Club must sell to meet its goal?
I'm having issues trying to figure this one out, I just need some tips. please
(300 - 150) < 4t
To solve this problem, we need to first understand the condition that the Booster Club must meet. They want to raise at least $300, and they have already raised $150. This means they need to raise an additional $150 in total.
Next, we need to figure out how much money they can make from selling tickets for the pancake breakfast. They are charging $4.00 per ticket, so the total amount of money they can make from selling tickets is 4 times the number of tickets sold.
Let's represent the number of tickets they need to sell with the variable 't'. Therefore, the amount of money they can make selling tickets is 4t.
To meet the goal of raising an additional $150, the amount of money they can make from selling tickets (4t) must be greater than or equal to $150. So, we can write the following inequality:
4t >= 150
This inequality represents the number of tickets (t) that the Booster Club must sell to meet its goal of raising at least $300.
