Question

Admission prices for a concert are $19 for adults and $11 for students. The concert will not be booked unless total ticket sales are at least $4500. Write the inequality that
expresses this information. (Let the x refer to the number of adult tickets and the y refer to the number of student tickets.)

Answer 1

Answer:  $19x+11y \ge 4500$

=============================================

Explanation:

x = number of adults

y = number of students

The expression 19x represents the money from all the adults while 11y represents the money from all the students (since we get $19 per adult and $11 per student).

In total, the money collected is 19x+11y dollars.

We want this total to be $4500 or larger.

So that's how we get the final answer of $19x+11y \ge 4500$
