Admission to the movie theater cost $7.50 for adults and $3.50 for students. The theater must bring in at least $200 per movie. Write an inequality for the number of tickets the theater needs to sell to make a profit. If the theater sells 15 adult tickets, how any student tickets do they need to sell to make
let adult tickets be x
and students tickets be y
7.50x+%2B3.50y+%3E=200
plug x=15
7.50%2A15+%2B3.50y+%3E=+200
3.50y+%3E=+200-+112.50
3.5y+%3E=+87.5
y%3E=25
