Question

*PLEASE ANSWER!! ITS CONFUSING*

Tickets to the play on Saturday were $40.00. On Sunday they went on sale for 15% off. How much were the discounted tickets?

a.) $32.00 a ticket

b.) $39.00 a ticket

c.) $34.00 a ticket

Answer 1

c.) $34.00 a ticket

Explanation:

Since you're trying to figure out how much a discounted ticket is you have to take the 15% off. So 15% of 40 is 6. Now take the 6 off of 40 (40-6) you will get 34. So the answer is $34.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

40× 15 out of 100 =6

40-6=34
