Answer:
5225 x 5/100 = 261.25
5225 - 261.25 = 4963.75
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that % means a 100 so if they say they allowed a 5% discount then that would be 5/100.
You will take the fraction and multiple it with the original price. It will then give you the discount price, you will then need to subtract the discounted amount from the original sale price which is 5225. Then you will get your final answer.

Let x equal the number of adult tickets sold.
X + 3X=512
(I put 3x because we know the students sold 3 times as many).
Solve for X.
X+3X=512
4X=512
4X/4=512/4
X=128
The second option is the right one
