Alrighty!

Answer 7

Here's an example with some easier numbers for you to understand this concept.

You go to the store and you see this new game that costs $100.
You have a coupon that gives you 25% discount off.

How much are you saving?
How much do you pay?

You have a 25% discount off of something that costs $100.
That means you save
25% * 100 or 0.25 * 100 = 25
You save $25!

If you're saving 25 dollars then how much did you end up paying?
It's going to be 100 - 25 = 75
You pay $75!

Answer 8

That's very similar to your question but you should get the idea of how discounts work.

We have tickets that cost $7.50
Students receive a 15% discount.

How much are you saving?

Then to finally calculate how much the student ticket costs, you subtract how much you're saving from the original price of the ticket
