Question

If the discount for students on a ticket price of $\$8$ for a charity show is $25\%$, what is the price of the ticket (in $) for the students?

• A. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A 6
Given:
Ticket price = $\$8$

Discount is a reduction in the original price of product.
Discount available for students = $25\%$

∴ Discount amount is
$=25\%of8$
$=\frac{25}{100}\times 8$
$=\frac{1}{4}\times 8$
$=\$2$

So, effective cost of ticket is $\$8-\$2=\$6$
