Question 6 of 29

A charitable organization is planning a banquet for their latest project. Attendees of the event have the option of donating at either the \[tex]$100 or \$[/tex]150 levels. There is limited seating for up to 350 people. Their goal is to raise at least \[tex]$50,000.

Which system of inequalities can be used to determine \( x \), the number of attendees needed to donate at the \$[/tex]100 level, and [tex]\( y \)[/tex], the number of attendees needed to donate at the \$150 level?

A. [tex]\(\begin{aligned} x + y & \leq 350 \\ 100x + 150y & \geq 50,000 \end{aligned}\)[/tex]

B. [tex]\(\begin{aligned} x + y & \ \textless \ 350 \\ 100x + 150y & \ \textgreater \ 50,000 \end{aligned}\)[/tex]

C. [tex]\(\begin{aligned} x + y & \leq 50,000 \\ 100x + 150y & \geq 350 \end{aligned}\)[/tex]

D. [tex]\(\begin{aligned} x + y & \geq 350 \\ 100x + 150y & \geq 50,000 \end{aligned}\)[/tex]


Sagot :

To solve this problem, we need to set up a system of inequalities that reflects the given conditions:

1. The first condition is related to the seating capacity, which is limited to 350 people. Therefore, the total number of attendees donating at any level (whether [tex]$100$[/tex] or [tex]$150$[/tex]) must be less than or equal to this capacity. This can be represented mathematically as:
[tex]\[ x + y \leq 350 \][/tex]
where [tex]\(x\)[/tex] is the number of attendees donating [tex]$100, and \(y\) is the number of attendees donating $[/tex]150.

2. The second condition is the goal to raise at least [tex]$50,000. The total amount raised from donations can be described by combining the contributions from both levels of donations. Specifically, attendees donating $[/tex]100 contribute [tex]\(100x\)[/tex] and those donating $150 contribute [tex]\(150y\)[/tex]. Therefore, the inequality representing the goal can be written as:
[tex]\[ 100x + 150y \geq 50,000 \][/tex]

So, the system of inequalities that meets these conditions is:
[tex]\[ \begin{aligned} x + y & \leq 350 \\ 100x + 150y & \geq 50,000 \end{aligned} \][/tex]

Among the given options, the one that matches this system is:

A. [tex]\[ \begin{aligned} x + y & \leq 350 \\ 100x + 150y & \geq 50,000 \end{aligned} \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is:
[tex]\[ 1 \][/tex]
