Question

Tickets for a county fair are $8 for an adult and $5 for a child. If you have a 15% discount card, how

much will 2 adult tickets and 2 child tickets cost?

Answer 1

$21.25

Explanation:

The cost of the 2 adult tickets before the discount is $8 * 2 = $16

The cost of the 2 child tickets before the discount is $5 * 2 = $10

The total cost before the discount is $16 + $10 = $26

The total cost after the discount is

$26 * (1 - 0.15) =

$26 * 0.85 =

$21.25
