Question

A school is planning a field trip to a theme park. A ticket to the park costs ​$21. For a group of 50 or​ more, there is a 12​% discount. The school saved ​$819 with the discount. How many tickets did the school​ buy?

Answer 1

With a 12% discount, 18.48 is the price per ticket (2.52 per ticket saved). In order to determine the amount of tickets, we divide the saved amount by the amount saved per ticket.

819/2.52 is 325.

There were 325 tickets purchsed.
