Question

A pass at a water park is $58. Halfway through the season, the pass is discounted by 20%. What was the discounted price?

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, list the fractions in between. 2.41, 2.42, 2.43, 2.44, 2.45, 2.46, 2.47, 2.48, 2.49, then 2.5. When looking at the list, you can see that 2.45 is halfway between 2.4 and 2.5. One other way to find it is thinking what is between 0 to 10? The answer is 5.
