The dance committee of pine bluff middle school earns \$72$72 from a bake sale and will earn \$4$4 for each ticket they sell to the spring fling dance. the dance will cost \$400$400.

write an inequality to determine the number, tt, of tickets the committee could sell to have money left over after they pay for this year's dance.

inequality:

what is the solution set of the inequality?

a: t < 82

b: t ≤ 82

c: t > 82

d: t ≥ 82

Inequality is

Solution is C: t > 82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tickets = t

It is given that the committee earns $4 per ticket. That is, they earn dollars.

Also, the committee earns $72 from the bake sale.

So, the total income is dollars.

Since, the dance will cost $400.

So, the total earning must be greater than $400.

Thus, the inequality for the situation is given by, .

So, on solving, we have,

i.e.

i.e. t > 82.

Thus, the solution of the inequality is

Hence, option C is correct.
