Question

At a movie theater, the cost of admission to a matinee is $5.25. If this price is a 30% discount from the evening price, find the evening price to the nearest cent

Answer 1

5.25 = 70%. 5.25 divided by 7 is $0.75 which is 1/10 of the evening price. So multiply $0.75 by 10 to find the evening price.

Hope it helps :)
