Q. Tickets to the rodeo sell for $12 each. If they are bought in groups of 10 or more, you revice 1/4 (fraction) off the price of each ticket. Julie wants to buy 14 tickets. How much will her total cost for the 14 tickets.

A. Do I add 12 + 14? and minus the answer with 1/4 ? (1/4 is the fraction)

So basically 126 is the answer?

full price is 12*14 = 168

Since she bought 12 or more, she gets 1/4 off that amount, or 42

So, she pays 168-42 = 126

Or, you can say that with 1/4 off, each ticket costs $9 instead of $12.

14*9 = 126

How did you get 42

To calculate the total cost of Julie's 14 tickets, you first need to determine if she qualifies for the discount. The discount is available if tickets are bought in groups of 10 or more. Since Julie wants to buy 14 tickets, she qualifies for the discount.

To find the discounted price per ticket, you multiply the original price of $12 by 1/4 (which is the same as dividing by 4): $12 * 1/4 = $3.

The discounted price per ticket is $3. Now you need to multiply this discounted price by the number of tickets Julie wants to buy. Julie wants to buy 14 tickets, so the total cost for her will be: $3 * 14 = $42.

Hence, the total cost for Julie's 14 tickets will be $42.
