Question

A school is planning a field trip to a theme park. A ticket to the park costs ​$23. For a group of 50 or​ more, there is a 15​% discount. The school saved ​$759 with the discount. How many tickets did the school​ buy?

Answer 1

total tickets = 220

Explanation:

given data

park ticket costs ​= $23

group member = 50

discount = 15%

school saved = ​$759

solution

we know here with the discount 15% we save $759

so we get here total paid x that is express as

x × 15% = $759

x =
`(759)/(0.15)`

x = $5060

so now we get total ticket that is

total ticket = total paid ÷ one ticket costs

total ticket =
`(5060)/(23)`

total tickets = 220
