Answer 1

15%

Explanation:

Answer 2

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
