Mai has a jar of quarters and dimes. She takes at least 10 coins out of the jar and has less than $2.00. 37) Write a system of inequalities that represents the number of quarters, ﻿$q$﻿, and the number of dimes, ﻿$d$﻿, that Mai could have. Is it possible that Mai has each of the following combinations of coins? If so, explain or show how you know. If not, state which constraint—the amount of money or the number of coins—it does not meet. 38) 3 quarters and 12 dimes 39) 4 quarters and 10 dimes 40) 2 quarters and 5 dimes ##### Problem 8 A stadium can seat 63,026 people. For each game, the amount of money that the organization brings in through ticket sales is a function of the number of people, ﻿$n$﻿, in attendance. 41) If each ticket costs$30.00, find the domain of this function.
