often you can write an equation to solve a problem
need help these 3
1) a band made a profit of $352 from a concert. the band sold 116 tickets and spent $25 on advertising. how much did each ticket cost?
i wrotE: $353 -$25 /116 = COST PER TICKET is this right?
write an inequality for each statement:
2)the ticket is at most $10
i wrote:
t >= $10
3)the race is less than 5 miles
i wrote: r < 5
is this ok?
1. is right.
2. The cost per ticket is $2.83
I think you can find a better inequality.
3. right
#2 ) answer could it be;
t < $10
sorry forget what i wrote
for #2 could it be;
the ticket is at most $10
t > 10
ok so #2
the ticket is at most $10
statement is
t > 10
right?
Right.
1) To solve for the cost per ticket, you are correct in setting up an equation. However, there is a minor error in your calculation. Let's correct it:
The profit the band made from the concert is $352. They sold 116 tickets and spent $25 on advertising. Let's denote the cost per ticket as 'x'.
The equation can be set up as follows: 116x - $25 = $352.
To solve for 'x', we isolate the variable by moving the constant terms to the right side of the equation, resulting in: 116x = $352 + $25.
Simplifying further, we have: 116x = $377.
To find the cost per ticket 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 116: x = $377 ÷ 116.
Calculating this, the cost per ticket is approximately $3.25.
2) The inequality for the statement "the ticket is at most $10" should be written as 't ≤ $10'. In this case, '≤' represents "less than or equal to." Your answer, 't ≥ $10', actually states that the ticket is greater than or equal to $10.
3) The inequality for the statement "the race is less than 5 miles' is correctly written as 'r < 5'. Your answer is accurate.
