Answer:

Therefore Marcus is incorrect.

Explanation:

Total ticket that Marcus bought= 100%.

Marcus used 50% of ticket on rides.

and he used
(1)/(4) of the tickets on the video games.

The percentage form of any number x is


=100* x \%

The percentage form of
(1)/(4) is


=(1* 100)/(4) \%

=25%

Therefore rest tickets are

=Total ticket-( ticket used in rides + ticket used in video games)

=100% - (50%+25%)

=100% - 75%

=25%

Therefore he used 25% of tickets in batting cage.

But he said that Marcus said that he used 24% of ticket in batting cage.

Therefore Marcus is incorrect.
