Write an inequality to represent this situation and solve it Found 2 solutions by ikleyn, josgarithmetic:Answer by ikleyn(52783) (Show Source):
Your inequality is this
30*(1250x-25000) >= 30000.
The factor 30 on the left is 30 days.
The "x" is the price for one single ticket.
Solution:
1250x - 25000 >= = 1000
1250x = 25000 + 1000 = 26000
x >= = 20.8.
ANSWER. To get the goal, the price for one single tickets must be >= $20.80.
