The number of tickets to sell at the door is 48 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Cost of play at the door = $5
  • Cost of play in advance = $4
  • The theater club wants to raise at least $400 from the play.
  • Number of tickets sold in advance = 40 tickets.

Let 'x' be the number of tickets need to sell at the door.

5x + 4(40) = 400

5x + 160 = 400

5x = 240

x = 240/5

x = 48 tickets

The number of tickets to sell at the door is 48 tickets.
