Question

Gia went to the movies with her 7-year old daughter and her 70-year-old mother. Movie tickets are half-priced for children under 12 years old, and there is a 25% discount for senior citizens. If Gia's $8.00 ticket was the regular retail price, what percent of the full retail price did Gia pay for the three tickets?
A.60% B.66.6% C.70% D.75% ​

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent of full retail price = 8+(1/2)(8)+(3/4)(8)/24

This simplifies to 0.75, which is equivalent to 75 percent.

$24 is full retail price so by dividing the amount Gia paid by it, you can find the percent of the full retail price.
