Events and landscaping estimates

An event manager reconciles concert attendance and revenue, while a client compares two landscaping crews whose charges include different rates and fixed fees.

Why this TEKS matters

A system represents two constraints at once; its solution identifies the ticket mix or hiring time that satisfies both.

Challenge 1

Reconcile concert sales

Use total tickets and total revenue to determine the number of adult tickets.

Challenge 2

Compare landscaping bids

Find the hiring time when both crews charge the same and calculate that charge.

Memberships and a petting-zoo puzzle

Two membership plans charge different fixed and per-visit amounts, and a petting-zoo sign gives the total numbers of animals and legs.

Why this TEKS matters

An intersection identifies equal cost and equal visit count, while two totals can be represented with equations for animal count and leg count.

Challenge 3

Interpret a plan intersection

Explain what both coordinates of the intersection mean for the two membership plans.

Challenge 4

Solve the animal-count puzzle

Use the animal and leg totals to calculate the number of rabbits.
