Answer 1

$\text{discounted price = \ 78.74 (option D)}$Explanation:

discount = 12.5 %

Original ticket price = $89.99

To get the discounted price, we will apply the formula:

$\text{discounted price = Original price - (Original price }\times\text{ discount)}$$\begin{gathered} \text{discount = 89.99 }\times\text{ 12.5\%} \\ \text{discount = 89.99 }\times\text{ 0.125} \\ \text{discount = 11.25} \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} \text{discounted price = 89.99 - 11.25} \\ \text{discounted price = \ 78.74 (option D)} \end{gathered}$
