Question

a scouting troop from hillsboro is organizing a crab feed to raise money for camp. they need to make at least $760 to cover the costs of the camp. tickets for the crab dinner sell for $24 apiece. those people who dont like crab can purchase the vegetarian dinner ticket for $21 each. write the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. use the given numbers and the following variables. x = the number of crab dinners sold y = the number of alternative dinners sold

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the total revenue from crab dinners

The revenue from crab dinners is \(24x\) (since each crab dinner ticket sells for \(\$24\) and \(x\) is the number of crab dinners sold).

Step2: Determine the total revenue from alternative dinners

The revenue from alternative dinners is \(21y\) (since each alternative dinner ticket sells for \(\$21\) and \(y\) is the number of alternative dinners sold).

Step3: Set up the inequality for the total revenue

The total revenue \(24x + 21y\) must be at least \(\$760\). So the inequality is \(24x+21y\geq760\).

Answer:

\(24x + 21y\geq760\)
