----
c + a > 150
200c + 250a <= 44000
-----
Graph the boundaries of the inequalities::
c > -a+150
c <= (-5/4)a + 220
----------------
Some Solutions for (c,a):: (13,202); (31,150); (45,130): (95,70)
-------------------------
e. The sponsor of the tickets realized that if the prices of the tickets were reduced, more people would have watched the play. If you were the sponsor of the plane, would you reduce the prices of the tickets? Why?
I'll leave that to you.
Cheers,
