Answer:
t > 82
Step-by-step explanation:
First write what we know.
Earned $72
$4 per ticket, t
Cost is $400
So let's write our equation:
The cost is $400 so we put that on the left side,
$400 =
Now on the right side, we know they earned $72, so +$72 and each ticket (t) is $4 so $4t would represent the amount earned after they sell a certain number of tickets.
So we write:
$400 = $4t + $72 Now solve for t to find the number of tickets they need to sell.
400 = 4t + 72 Subtract 72 from each side.
400 - 72 = 4t + 72 - 72
328 = 4t Divide each side by 4.
328/4 = 4t/4
328/4 = t
82 = t
If the committee wants money left over they need to sell more than 82 tickets!
Our inequality is:
t > 82
