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)

3 answers

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
So basically 126 is the answer?
How did you get 42
