Complete Question

Mr Brown has 2 children are going to london by train

1 adult costs £24 and child ticket costs 12

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
