10. RP3-M Jeanette purchased a concert ticket on a web site. The original price of the ticket was $75.

She used a coupon code to receive a 20% discount. The website applied a 10% service fee

to the discounted price. Jeannette's ticket was less than the original price by what percent?

Jeannette's ticket was less than the original pice by 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

original price = $75

percentage discount = 20% of original price = 20% of $75

discounted price =

discounted price = $15

website service fee = 10% of original price

website service fee =

New discounted price = discount price + website service fee

= 15 + 7.5 = $22.5

Next, let us calculate what percentage of the original price that will give the new discount price.

Let the percentage of the original price = x%

x% of 75 = $22.5

Therefore, Jeannette's ticket was less than the original pice by 30%

step-by-step explanation:

the triangles are similar. therefore the corresponding sides are in proportion:

              cross multiply

            divide both sides by 32

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
