Marcus bought a booklet of tickets to use at the amusement park. He used 50% of the tickets on rides, 1/4 of the tickets on video games, and the rest of the tickets in the batting cage. Marcus says he used 24% of the tickets in the batting cage. Do you agree?

[Yes or no,] because the percentage benchmark for 1/4 is [BLANK] %, so he used a total of [BLANK] % on rides and games. This leaves [BLANK] % for the battling cage.

Answer:

No, 25%, 50%, 25%

Explanation:

Find the percentage of tickets left:

50 + 25 = 75

(percents are out of 100)

100 - 75 = 25

He saids he used the rest of the tickets at the batting cage so it would be 25% not 24%
