LESSON 20. QUIZ

Name:
3 The price of a ticket to a play is $50 per person. On Monday afternoons, the
theater reduces the ticket price to $35 per person. Students receive an additional
$5 discount on all tickets. What is the percent discount for a student ticket to a
Monday afternoon performance?
A 20%
C 40%
B 30%
D 60%

Answer 1

D?

Explanation:

50/100=30/x

50x=30000

30000/50=60

Answer 2

The original price of a ticket to the play is $50. On Monday afternoons, the price is reduced to $35. Therefore, the discount for all tickets is:

$50 - $35 = $15

Students receive an additional $5 discount on all tickets. So the price of a student ticket on Monday afternoon is:

$35 - $5 = $30

Therefore, the discount for a student ticket is:

($50 - $30) / $50 × 100% = 40%

So the answer is C) 40%.
