Answer: 25.6

First, notice that there is 1 adult and 2 children.

A normal adult ticket costs 24. But it's 1/3 off, so 24 * 1/3 = 8 off. That means with the Railcard, it only costs 24 - 8 = 16.

Next, one child ticket costs 12. But it's 60% = 3/5 off, so 12 * 3/5 = 7.2 off. That means with the Railcard, it only costs 12 - 7.2 = 4.8.

Remember there are 2 children, so we multiply by 2 to get 4.8 * 2 = 9.6 for the children.

Final answer: 1 adult + 2 children = 16 + 9.6 = 25.6.

Hope that helped,

Answer:

£25.60

Explanation:

Adult tickets cost £24 and ⅓ is off the adult tickets according to the Family Railcard. That is:

24 × ⅓ = £8 is removed from the adult tickets. Therefore:

£24 - £8 = £16

Child tickets cost £12 and 60% is off the child tickets according to the Family Railcard. That is:

12 × 60/100 = £7.20 is removed from the child tickets. Therefore:

£12 - £7.20 = £4.80

To find the total cost of Mr. Brown spent:

1 child = £4.80

2 children = ?

4.80 × 2 = £9.60

1 adult = £16

£16 + £9.60

= £25.60

Mr. Brown spent £25.60 in total.
