Marcus bought a booklet of tickets to use at the amusement park. He used 50% of the tickets on rides, 1/10 of the tickets on video games, and the rest of the tickets in the batting cage. Marcus says he used 38% of the tickets in the batting cage. Do you agree? Complete the explanation.

Answer:

no

If he used 50% on ticket for rides, the remaining tickets he would have is (100% - 50%) 50%.

He used 1/10 on video games. Converting 1/10 to percentage gives 10%.

The total percentage of tickets used is 60%. He should have 40% to spend on batting cages
