Question

Help please.

The price of a train ticket from Orlando to Atlanta is normally $118.00. However, the train company is offering a special 75% discount to children under the age of 16. What is the sale price of a ticket from Orlando to Atlanta for someone under the age of 16? Show your work, and write an explanation next to each step in order to earn credit.

Answer 1

75% of 118 = .75(118) = 88.50
118 - 88.50 = 29.50 ==> sale price
OR
if you get 75% off, you only pay 25%
.25(118) = 29.50

either way will give you the same answer

Answer 2
