Answer:

15% discount

Explanation:

  • To find the discount first we need to find out the cost without the family ticket
  • Now the family ticket covers 2 Adults and 2 children, but how much is that using the standard prices?
  • So
    2adults= 2*(55)=110 which is Euros I believe
  • Then
    2children= 2*(45)=90
  • We add these together 110+90=200 Euros, that's how much 2 adults and 2 children cost with standard prices
  • Now the family ticket only charges 170 Euros
  • So how much less is the family ticket to the regular price? 200-170=30 Euros
  • That's the discount, now what percentage of the actual price 200 Euros, is 30 Euros?
  • First we write it as a fraction; 30 Euros out of 200 Euros which is
    (30)/(200) =(3)/(20)
  • To find the percentage, we multiply the fraction by 100

  • (3)/(20) *100=(3*100)/(20)=(300)/(20) =15percent or 15%
  • This just means "take out 15% of 200 from the 200 Euros original price" so that's the percentage discount that the family ticket provides
