of the tickets on video games, and the rest of the tickets in the batting cage. Marcus says he used 20% of the tickets in the batting cage. Do you agree? Complete the explanation.

Answer 1

No. he used 50% on the rides, and we have to convert the fraction to a percent by dividing 4&1 which equals 0.25, then we multiply that by 100 to get the percentage he used on video games which equals 25%. 50+25= 75% used tickets for both rides and video games. So then we subtract 75 from 100 and get 25% which means he used 25% of the tickets on batting cages. Your answer is no, he used 25% of his tickets on the batting cages.
