To help pay for the next school event, Terry and Tony want to make a profit from ticket sales for this dance. They determine that they
would like to bring in a total of $475 from ticket sales.
a. If x represents the price per ticket, write an equation to represent
this situation.
b. Some student council dance committee members believe they should
charge $4.00 per ticket, while others think they should charge $4.50
per ticket. Terry and Tony believe the price per ticket should be
$5.00. Use substitution to find the solution to your equation from
part a and to determine how much each ticket should cost.
