JoAnn likes her job as a baby-sitter, but it pays only $3 per hour. She has been offered a job as a tutor that pays $6 per hour. Because of school, her parents only allow her to work a maximum of 15 hours per week. JoAnn wants to to tutor and baby-sit and make at least $66 per week. Formulate an system of inequalities to model how many hours per week she can work at each job.

• b + t < 15
  3b + 6t > 66

• b + t > 15
  3b + 6t < 66

• 3b + 6t > 15
  b + t < 66

• 3b + 6t < 15
  b + t < 66

The talent show committee sold a total of 530 tickets in advance. Student tickets cost $3 each and the adult tickets cost $4 each. If the total receipts were $1740, which system could be used to find how many of each type of ticket were sold?

• S + A = 530
  3S + 4A = 1740

• S + A = 530
  4S + 3A = 1740

• S + A = 1740
  3S + 4A = 530

• S + A = 1740
  4S + 3A = 530

Carlos works at a movie theater selling tickets. The theater has 300 seats and charges $7.50 for adults and $5.50 for children. The theater expects to make at least $2000 for each showing

• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000

• x+y<300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000

• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≤2000

• x+y>2000
  7.5x+5.5y≤300
