Question

Heather and her family are going to the grand opening of a new amusement park. There is a special price on tickets this weekend. Tickets cost $56 each. This is 70% of the cost of a regular price ticket. What is the cost of a regular price ticket? Show your work

Answer 1

70% from x= 56 $
70/100*x=56
x=56*100/70=5600/70= 80 $
The cost of a regular ticket is 80 $

Answer 2

56/0.7 = 80
80 x 0.7 = 56

Therefore a normal ticket costs $80.
