You and your friend Alex are looking to buy tickets for a big concert. You know that Ticket System charges $22 per person plus a $10 surcharge per transaction. You and Alex think you can get a better deal at Max Tickets or Ticket Meister, both of which are also selling tickets for the event. Pick one of these two sellers, and use your knowledge of linear systems to compare it with Ticket System and figure out who has the better deal. 1. Which company did you select?
2. First, write an equation that represents the cost of tickets from Ticket System.
3. Next, write an equation that represents the cost of tickets from the company you chose.
4. Some friends have heard about the concert, and now you might have to buy up to five tickets. Use your equations to create a price table for each company. (4 points: 2 points for each company)
5. Now graph the ticket prices for each company on the same pair of axes to compare the values.
