Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the requirements for each studio's specialized art class profit goals and determine how many people, , need to attend each class based on the pricing structure.
Information Summary:
-
Studio Costs and Profit Goals:
- Art Studio A:
- Expenses: $100 per class.
- Profit goal: At least $400 per class.
- Art Studio B:
- Expenses: $200 per class.
- Profit goal: At least $800 per class.
- Art Studio A:
-
Group Class Rate:
- Both studios charge dollars per person for the group class.
Analysis for Each Studio:
-
Art Studio A Requirement:
- Total revenue goal = Expenses + Profit goal = dollars.
- Since the rate per person is , the total revenue generated with people is .
- Set up the inequality for Art Studio A:
- Solving for , we get:
-
Art Studio B Requirement:
- Total revenue goal = Expenses + Profit goal = dollars.
- For Art Studio B, the revenue with people at dollars per person must satisfy:
- Solving for , we get:
Answer Choices Analysis:
Now let's match these inequalities to the given answer choices:
- A: — Incorrect, as it does not match either of our inequalities.
- B: — Incorrect, as it suggests needs to be greater than , rather than at least equal to it.
- C: — Incorrect, unrelated to the inequalities we derived.
- D: For Art Studio A, the number of people that must attend is at least the quotient of and . Correct because is what we found for Art Studio A.
- E: For Art Studio B, the number of people that must attend is . — Incorrect, as it should be .
- F: For Art Studio B, the number of people that must attend is at least the quotient of and . Correct because matches the requirement for Art Studio B.
Conclusion:
The correct answers are:
- D: For Art Studio A, must be at least .
- F: For Art Studio B, must be at least .
