You are the owner of the biggest and newest roller coaster called the Gentle Giant. The roller coaster costs $6 to ride. The operator of the ride must pay $200 per day for the ride rental and $65 per day for a safety inspection. If you want to make a profit of at least $1,000 each day, what is the minimum number of people that must ride the roller coaster? Write an inequality that can be used to find the minimum number of people, , which must ride the roller coaster each day to make the daily profit.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Inequality: 6r - 200 - 65 [tex]\geq[/tex] 1000  and minimum of 211 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = rides

6r - 200 - 65 [tex]\geq[/tex] 1000

6r - 265 [tex]\geq[/tex] 1000

6r [tex]\geq[/tex] 1265

r [tex]\geq[/tex] 210 [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Needs 211 people to make a profit of at least $1000
