The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
Suppose your school is having a talent show to raise money for new music supplies. You estimate that 200 students and 150 adults will attend. You estimate $200 in expenses. Write an equation to find what ticket prices you should set to raise $1000.
Answer:
[tex]200x+150y=1200[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' be price per student ticket and 'y' be the price per adult ticket.
Given:
Number of students = 200
Number of adults = 150
Total fund to be raised = $1000
Expenses cost = $200
Now, price of ticket for 1 student = 'x'
Therefore, price of tickets of 200 students = [tex]200x[/tex]
Price of ticket of 1 adult = 'y'.
Therefore, price of tickets of 150 adults = [tex]150y[/tex]
Now, total fund raised will be equal to the total money obtained from selling the tickets minus the expenses estimated.
∴ Total fund raised = Total money from tickets - Expenses.
⇒ [tex]1000=200x+150y-200[/tex]
⇒ [tex]200x+150y=1000+200[/tex]
⇒ [tex]200x+150y=1200[/tex]
Therefore, the equation to find what ticket prices you should set to raise $1000 is given as:
[tex]200x+150y=1200[/tex]
