Question 250794: At the basketball game, they charge $4 for each ticket and they expect to make $75 in concessions. The team must pay the two referees $100 each and pay the ticket taker $25. Each fan gets a free noise maker that costs the team $0.25 each. How many tickets must be sold to break even? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4x+75=2*100+25+.25x
4x-.25x=200+25-75
3.75x=150
x=150/3.75
x=40 tickets must be sold in order to break even.
Proof:
4*40+75=200+25+.25*40
160+75=225+10
235=235
