problem

At a certain amusement park, there is a bulk discount for tickets. If you buy up to 60 tickets in one order, the price for each ticket is $70\$70. However if you buy more than 60 tickets in a single order, the price of every ticket is reduced by $1\$1 for each additional ticket bought. If tt is the number of tickets bought in bulk at one time, what is the largest tt which will bring the amusement park a profit greater than $4200\$4200?
