Question

At an amusement park, 3,750 out of 5,000 tickets sold were discount tickets. What percentage of the tickets were discount tickets?

Answer 1

The percentage of discounted tickets with respect to total tickets is 75 %

Explanation:

Given as :

The total tickets of amusement park = 5,000

The total discounted tickets of amusement park = 3,750

Let The percentage of discounted tickets with respect to total tickets = D %

Now, According to question

The discounted percentage =
`(\textrm Total number of discounted tickets)/(\textrm  Total number of tickets)` × 100

or, D =
`(3750)/(5000)` × 100

or, D = 0.75 × 100

or D =
`(75)/(100)` × 100

∴ D = 75 %

So, percentage discounted tickets = D = 75 %

Hence The percentage of discounted tickets with respect to total tickets is 75 % . Answer
