Answer:
Jeannette's ticket was less than the original pice by 30%
Step-by-step explanation:
original price = $75
percentage discount = 20% of original price = 20% of $75
discounted price = [tex]\frac{20}{100} \times\ 75\ =\ 15[/tex]
discounted price = $15
website service fee = 10% of original price
website service fee = [tex]\frac{10}{100}\times 75 = \$7.5[/tex]
New discounted price = discount price + website service fee
= 15 + 7.5 = $22.5
Next, let us calculate what percentage of the original price that will give the new discount price.
Let the percentage of the original price = x%
x% of 75 = $22.5
[tex]\frac{x}{100} \times\ 75\ = 22.5\\\\\frac{75x}{100} = 22.5\\\\75x = 2250\\\\x = \frac{2250}{75} \\\\x = 30[/tex]
Therefore, Jeannette's ticket was less than the original pice by 30%
