Question

- At a school carnival, 8 out of 32 tickets sold were early-admission tickets. What

percentage of the tickets were early-admission tickets?

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

8 out of 32 can be simplified to 1 early admission for every 4 tt (total tickets). 1/4 can be changed into a decimal which is .25, and .25*100 is 25%

Answer 2

25 Percent of tickets were early admission.

Explanation:

We apply the percentage formula to solve this problem.

Total Ticket Amount * Percentage = Early tickets

We plug in our values

32 * x/100 = 8

Simplify

X=25
