Tickets for the fall dance are 5$ per person or $8 for couples. in order to cover expenses, at least $1200 worth of tickets must be sold. write an inequality that represents this situation.

✡  $5+$8p=1200 ✡ 

- - Why?

If you take the cost per person and for couples, you are adding them together.

Now you are going to multiply it by "x" because in this case, x is representing the number of people who actually bought the tickets.

Now you want to write a equal sign because you need it to solve up to  $1200 (the cost you need to atleast get)

✡Hope this helps✡
