Question 204418
The drama club is selling tickets to a play for $10 each.
 The cost to rent the theater and costumes is $500. 
In addition the printers are charging $1 per ticket to print the tickets.
 How many tickets must the drama club sell to make a profit? 
:
Let x = no. of tickets required to make a profit
:
 revenue - cost = profit
:
10x - 1x - 500 > 0
:
9x > +500
x > {{{500/9}}}
x > 55.55 tickets ~ 56 need to be sold to make a profit
:
:
Check solution, when 56 tickets are sold
P = 10(56) - 56 - 500
P = 560 - 56 - 500
P = $4 profit
