Mr. jones spent $156 to attend a college football game. • twenty percent of this cost was for a parking pass. • he spent the remainder of the money on two tickets for the game. what was the price per ticket? a $15.60 b $31.20 c $62.40 d $124.80

The answer is A because if you multiply the total amount by 0.2. You will get 31.2. then divide by 2 to get the answer. So the answer is A

You set it up as a ratio

x/ 156  20/100

then cross multiply then divide

20 times 156 divided by 100 which gives you 31.20

then subtract your parking pass from the total

156 - 31.20 and you get 124.80

 then divide by 2  and you get 62.40 

your answer is C
