Answer 2

Tamir will receive change of $5.75

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Two concert tickets with face value $32.50 and $26.50.

The discount coupon gets both tickets at one-fourth off.

Cost of tickets =

`=32.50 + 26.50\\=\$59`

Discount =

`=(59)/(4)\\\\=\$14.75`

Amount to be paid =

`=59-14.75\\=\$44.25`

Tamir pays with a $50 bill.

Change received =

`=50-44.25\\=\$5.75`

Thus, Tamir will receive change of $5.75
