The Family Railcard offers:
1/3 off adults tickets and 60% off child ticket
What is the total cost of tickets when Mr Brown uses the Family Railcard
Answer:
£25.60
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question:
1 adult costs £24
The Family Railcard offers:
1/3 off adults tickets.
Hence:
1/3 × £24 = £8
The cost for Mr Brown = £24 - £8
= £16
Child ticket costs £12
The Family Railcard offers:
60% off child ticket
Hence = 60% × £12
= 60/100 × £12
= £7.2
The cost for 1 child = £12 - £7.2
= £4.8
The total cost of tickets when Mr Brown uses the Family Railcard is:
Cost for Mr Brown + Cost for his 2 Children
£16 + 2 × £4.8
£16 + £9.6
= £25.60
