In order to make a profit on the game, at least $14,000 must be made in sales of lower-level tickets, which cost $63, and luxury box seats, which cost $110.Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.x= the number of lower-level tickets soldy= the number of luxury box tickets soldChoices:(A) 63x+110y≥14,000(B) 110x + 63y > 14,000(C) 110x+63y≥14,000(D) 63x + 110y > 14,000
Q. A hockey team in Rockport has made it to the playoffs. In order to make a profit on the game, at least $14,000 must be made in sales of lower-level tickets, which cost $63, and luxury box seats, which cost $110.Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.x= the number of lower-level tickets soldy= the number of luxury box tickets soldChoices:(A) 63x+110y≥14,000(B) 110x+63y>14,000(C) 110x+63y≥14,000(D) 63x+110y>14,000
Define Variables: Define the variables based on the given information.We are given:Cost of one lower-level ticket: $63Cost of one luxury box seat: $110Minimum sales required for profit: $14,000Number of lower-level tickets sold: xNumber of luxury box tickets sold: yWe need to find an inequality that represents the situation where the total sales from both types of tickets are at least $14,000.
Total Sales Lower-Level: Write the expression for the total sales from lower-level tickets. The total sales from lower-level tickets can be calculated by multiplying the number of lower-level tickets sold x by the cost of each lower-level ticket ($63). Total sales from lower-level tickets = 63×x=63x
Total Sales Luxury Box: Write the expression for the total sales from luxury box seats.The total sales from luxury box seats can be calculated by multiplying the number of luxury box tickets sold y by the cost of each luxury box seat ($110).Total sales from luxury box seats = 110×y=110y
Combine Expressions: Combine the expressions to form the inequality.To make a profit, the total sales from both lower-level tickets and luxury box seats must be at least $14,000. Therefore, we add the expressions from Step 2 and Step 3 and set the sum to be greater than or equal to $14,000.Inequality: 63x+110y≥14,000
