Question

If 40 percent of a movie ticket costs $5.00 what is 20 percent of the cost of two tickets

Answer 1

Find cost of a ticket:

40% = $5.00

1% =  $5 ÷ 40 = 0.125

100% = 0.125 x 100 = $12.50

The cost of a ticket is $12.50


Find 20% of two tickets:

Two tickets cost $12.50 x 2 = $25

20% of $25 = 0.25 x $25 = $5

Answer: 20% of two tickets cost $5
