Problema Solution

there are 100 seats in a movie theater, you have a total of 100 dollars. Men ticket price is five dollars, woman ticket price is 2 dollars and children ticket price is ten cents. How many men, woman, and children can you fit in the movie theater at one time.

Answer provided by our tutors

let


m = the number of men


w = the number of women


c = the number of children


there are 100 seats in a movie theater and we will assume the theater is full:


m + w + c = 100


c = 100 - (m + w)


you have a total of 100 dollars:


5m + 2w +0.10c <= 100


plug c = 100 - (m + w) into the inequality:


5m + 2w +0.10(100 - (m + w)) <= 100
