.


Your inequality is this


    30*(1250x-25000) >= 30000.


The factor 30 on the left is 30 days.


The "x" is the price for one single ticket.


Solution:


    1250x - 25000 >=  = 1000

    1250x = 25000 + 1000 = 26000


        x >=   = 20.8.


ANSWER.  To get the goal, the price for one single tickets must be >= $20.80.
