a.) Let x be the number of tickets sold before the event and y the number of tickets sold on the day of the event. Then x + y =< 800 and 6x + 9y >= 5000. (b.) Suppose the club sold 440 tickets before the event, i.e. x = 440, maximum number of tickets remaining to be sold = 800 - 440 = 360. Maximum amount realized from the sales supposing all tickets were sold = 6(440) + 9(360) = 2640 + 3240 = $5880 which is greater than $5000. Therefore, it is possible for the club to sell enough additional tickets on the day of the show to meet the expenses of the show.
