Algebra.Com's Answer #50562 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Adult tickets to the school musical are $5 and student tickets are $2. There are 300 seats in the auditorium where the musical is being performed. The goal for ticket sales for one performance is at least $900. Make a graph showing the number of each kind of ticket needed to be sold to reach the goal.
