Obviously if he wants to maximize income, he should sell as many $5 tickets as he can. Since he \"must sell at least 200 $4\" then he's left with 500-200=300 seats. He should sell all 300 for $5, because that would make him more money than if he sold them for $4, right? He'll then make<BR>\n" );

Since there's nothing in the problem that implies he won't be able to sell every ticket he puts up for sale, I have to presume that's the answer or something else is missing from the problem. </SPAN>\n" );
