Question

Sheila buys two concert tickets from her friend. She pays $90 for the two tickets. She looks at the tickets and sees that each ticket has a face value of $52.50.

Part A: How much of a markdown did her friend give Sheila?

Part B: What was the percent markdown, rounded to the nearest whole percent?

Answer 1

Answer:

$15

I don't know the percentage.

Step-by-step explanation:

50 + 50 = 100,    2 + 2 = 4,      .50 + .50 = 1

100 + 4 = 104 + 1 = 105

100 - 90 = 10 plus the 5 left-over = 15
