Module 3 Mini Project
While there were about 3,000,000 people (about the population of Arkansas)
who visited the zoo last year, the number of people who visited in each
month was different. For example, people are more likely to visit the zoo in
July than they are in January. For that reason, the zoo raises its prices during
the months when there are a lot of visitors (peak season) and lowers its
prices during the months when there are not as many visitors (off season).
During peak season the zoo has about 1,800,000 visitors. Write an
expression to show how much money would be made during peak season
where p is the price of one peak season ticket.
The zoo wants to sell tickets in the off season for half of the price of tickets
in the peak season. Write an expression to show how much money would be
made during the off season where p is the price of one peak season ticket.
To break even the zoo needs to make at least how much money they spent
on the animals. Write and solve an inequality to find out how much the price
of one peak season ticket should be where p is the price of one peak season
ticket. How much should one off season ticket be?
