Question

Amanda bought tickets for a concert for $218. Jamie bought tickets to the same concert but paid 14% less than Amanda. What were the price of Jamie's tickets?

Answer 1

Jamie's tickets = $187.48

Explanation:

The amount for which Amanda bought tickets = $218

Jamie bought tickets to the same concert but paid 14% less than Amanda.

Jamie's tickets =
`218-14\%\ of\ 218`

We can solve it as follows :

`218-14\%\ of\ 218=218-(14)/(100)* 218\\\\=218-30.52\\\\=\$187.48`

So, the price of Jamie's tickets is $187.48.
