Answer: 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A local band is holding a concert. The price of a ticket to the concert is $15.

The band must sell enough tickets to cover at least the $525 cost of renting the gym.

Let the number of tickets sold be represented by x.

Then , the required inequality to determine how many tickets must be sold to at least cover the cost of the gym :-

[tex]15x\leq525[/tex]

Divide both sides by 15 , we get

[tex]x\leq\dfrac{525}{15}\\\\x\leq35[/tex]

Hence, the number of tickets must be sold to at least cover the cost of the gym = 35
