Q. At an amusement park,

35

out of

70

tickets sold were discount tickets. What percentage of the tickets were discount tickets?

\newline

Write your answer using a percent sign (\%).

\newline

\_\_\_\_\_

Identify total and discount tickets: Identify the total number of tickets and the number of discount tickets. $\newline$ Total tickets = $70$ , Discount tickets = $35$ . $\newline$ Calculate the percentage of discount tickets. $\newline$ Percentage = (Number of discount tickets / Total tickets) * $100$ $\newline$ Percentage = $(35 / 70) * 100$
Calculate discount ticket percentage: Perform the division and multiplication to find the percentage. $\newline$ $\frac{35}{70} = 0.5$ ; $0.5 \times 100 = 50\%$ $\newline$ So, $50\%$ of the tickets were discount tickets.
