Question

The price of a train ticket from Columbus to New York is normally $122.00. However, children under the age of 16 receive a 60% discount. Find the sale price for someone under the age of 16.

Answer 1

122×.60=73.20
122-73.20=48.80 for a ticket for someone under 16 years old.

Answer 2

$48.80

Explanation:

If they get a 60% discount, then they only pay 40% of the fare.

So what you have to do is take 40% of 122.00 = 40/100 * 122 = 4880/100 = 48.80

So the sale price is 48.80 dollars
