Q:

The homeowner's association is sponsoring a spaghetti supper. Tickets to the event cost $10.50 per person. Sixty-two people have already purchased tickets. The total number of tickets available is 245. If y = 10.50x represents the amount of money that can be received from the number of tickets that REMAIN to be sold, what values are appropriate for the domain of the function? A) x > 62 B) 1 < x ≤183 C) 0 ≤ x ≤183 D) 62 ≤ x ≤245

Accepted Solution

A:
The choice we are looking for will show all of the possible numbers of tickets that could still be sold.

There is a possibility that is zero tickets to be sold up to all the rest of the tickets (245-62=183.

Choice c shows all of these possibilities. This choice basically says the remaining number of tickets sold could be 0 all the way up to 183.
