Questions: At an amusement park, 35 out of 100 tickets sold were discount tickets. What percentage of the tickets were discount tickets? Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Solution Steps

The problem states that 35 out of 100 tickets sold were discount tickets. This means:

• Number of discount tickets = 35
• Total number of tickets = 100

To find the percentage of discount tickets, use the formula: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of discount tickets}}{\text{Total number of tickets}} \right) \times 100 \] Substitute the given values: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{35}{100} \right) \times 100 \]

\[ \text{Percentage} = 35\% \]
