Alocal charity is selling seats to a baseball game. seats cost $24 each, and snacks cost an additional $6
each. the charity needs to raise $240 to consider this event a success.
use the graph to approximate how many snacks the charity must sell if 5 seats are sold. 24s + 6y = 240

To raise exactly $240, the charity needs to sell 20 snacks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

s = number of seats sold

y = number of snacks sold

Seats cost $24 each, then s seats cost $24s.

Snacks cost an additional $6 each, then y snacks cost $6y.

In total, s seats and y snacks cost $(24s+6y).

The charity needs to raise $240 to consider this event a success, so

If 5 seats are sold, then

To raise exactly $240, the charity needs to sell 20 snacks.

To solve this problem graphically, plot the graph of the line and find on this line point with s-coordinate 5. This is exactly point (5,20), so the charity needs to sell 20 snacks.

The household makes $424.45

The answer is: y would equal 3 because if you simplify the equation then it would be y= 3x+9 and if you divide 3x and 9 by 3 it would equal 3. y= 3
