<PRE><B>Question 935447</B>
profits linear model:
y = 7.50x - 1500
where:
x = number of tickets sold per movie showing
y = profit made per movie showing
---
break even point:
0 = 7.50x - 1500
7.50x = 1500
x = 1500/7.50
x = 200
---
answer:
the theater loses money when they sell between zero and 199 tickets per showing
---
the theater makes profit when they sell between 201 tickets and the number of tickets equal to the seating capacity, which should be significantly more than 200 seats
---
note:
this ignores the revenue generated by the sale of food and drink, which is a significant portion of the profit model for any theater
