The drama teacher wants to estimate how many tickets to sell for a show. The auditorium has 56 rows of seats. There are 32 seats in each row.
Which explains whether it makes more sense to find an overestimate or an
underestimate to decide how many tickets to sell?

A.
It makes more sense to find an underestimate so that some people can
enter the auditorium without buying a ticket.

B.
It makes more sense to find an underestimate to make sure there are
enough seats for everybody who buys a ticket to the show.

C.
It makes more sense to find an overestimate to make sure every seat in
the auditorium is filled.

D.
It makes more sense to find an overestimate so that the show makes the
most amount of money it can.

Definitly D

Step-by-step explanation:

Money matters most

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
