Question

Concerts tickets usually cost Rs.120 4/5 per person.For students, they are priced at 1/4 of the normal cost. How much will 6 tickets cost for students?

Answer 1

the cost for students of 6 tickets is Rs. 225

Answer 2

The cost of 6 tickets for students is $\bold{= Rs. 181 \frac{1}{5}}$.

Cost of 1 concert ticket for 1 person $= Rs. 120 \frac{4}{5}=Rs. \frac{604}{5}$

Cost of 1 concert ticket for 1 student $=\frac{1}{4} \times Rs. \frac{604}{5}$

$=Rs. \frac{151}{5}$

∴ Cost of 6 tickets for students $=Rs. \frac{151}{5} \times 6=Rs. \frac{906}{5}$

$\bold{= Rs. 181 \frac{1}{5}}$.

As the above problem involve fractions many exponential and decimals values are to be calculated for getting the desired answer.
