Question 835606: You're part of a high school committee whose purpose is to organize an upcoming school dance. The dance is to include a band and there are 2 currently available. Band A charges $300 plus $1.75 for every ticket sold. Band B charges $300 per hour. To encourage attendance the ticket price should be as low as possible, so if the dance will last 2 hours and have an attendance of 200 students, which is the least expensive band?

Band A charges $300 plus $1.75 for every ticket sold.
Cost: A(x) = 300+1.75x
-------------------------
Band B charges $300 per hour.
Cost: B(x) = 300x
--------------------------------------
To encourage attendance the ticket price should be as low as possible, so if the dance will last 2 hours and have an attendance of 200 students, which is the least expensive band?
A(200) = 300 + 1.75*200 = $650
B(2) = 300*2 = $600
