Respuesta :

Answer:

 total tickets =  220

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

park ticket costs ​= $23

group member = 50

discount = 15%

school saved = ​$759

solution

we know here with the discount 15% we save $759

so we get here total paid x that is express as

x × 15% = $759  

x =  [tex]\frac{759}{0.15}[/tex]  

x = $5060

so now we get total ticket that is

total ticket = total paid ÷ one ticket costs

 total ticket =  [tex]\frac{5060}{23}[/tex]  

 total tickets =  220
