Question

Customers who purchase museum tickets in advance receive 10% off the regular admission price. Anias paid a sale price of $54. He wants to know the regular price of a ticket

Answer 1

Answer:

Regular price of a ticket = $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

On purchasing museum tickets in advance customers get 10% off on the regular price of ticket.

Anias paid the sale price of ticket = $54

To find the regular price of ticket.

Solution:

Let the regular price of ticket in dollars be $=x$

Discount offered for booking in advance = 10%

Discount amount in dollars = $Discount\ percent \times Regular\ price=10% \times x =0.10 \times x =0.1x$

Sale price of a ticket in dollars= Regular price - Discount amount= $x-0.1x=0.9x$

Sale price given for a ticket = $54

So, we have:

$0.9x=54$

Dividing both sides by 0.9

$\frac{0.9x}{0.9}=\frac{54}{0.9}$

∴ $x=60$

∴ Regular price of a ticket = $60

Answer 2

Answer:

the sale price is 90% of the regular price

Step-by-step explanation:

60 is the regular price so 54 is 90% of 60.
