What are some possible combinations of matinees and evening shows that you can see?
Answer to Problem 11E
You can see 0 matinees and 5 evening shows, or 3 matinees and 3 evening shows, or 8 matinees and 0 evening shows.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
You have a gift certificate for $40 to use at a movie theater. Matinees cost $5 and evening shows cost $8.
Calculation:
Let x represent number of matinees shows and y represent number of evening shows.
We have been given that matinees cost $5, so cost of x matinees would be
We are also told that evening shows cost $8, so cost of y evening shows would be
Since you have a gift certificate for $40 to use at a movie theater, so total cost of x matinees and y evening shows should be less than or equal to $40. We can represent this information in an inequality as:
Upon graphing our inequality, we will get our required graph as shown below:
Upon looking at our given inequality, we can see that points
