2. At what ticket prices should the theater sell the tickets if it must earn at least $3,200 in revenue to break even (to not lose money) on the musical production? Explain how you know.

Respuesta :

To earn at least $3,200 in revenue, the ticket prices should be $10 or $40.

What is an Equation

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Revenue = number of tickets sold * price per ticket = (400 - 8p)p

Revenue = 400p - 8p²

For no revenue:

400p - 64p² =  0

p = $0 or p = $50

For revenue of atleast 3200:

400p - 8p² =  3200

p = $10 or p = $40

To earn at least $3,200 in revenue, the ticket prices should be $10 or $40.
