Julie bought 2 A, 1C and 1 S tickets.
Discounts offered was:
30% on Adult tickets , 15% on Child ticket and a 15% on Senior citizens tickets.
The question asked is :
Was the total amount of the 4 discounts greater than 20% of the sum of the regular prices of the 4 tickets?Converting it into equation., we get
30%(2A) + 15% (C) + 15% (S ) > 20% ( 2A+ C+S) 60A + 15C + 15S > 40 A + 20 C + 20 S
20 A > 5C + 5S
Is 4A > C+S ? Statement 1:
(1)
The original price of an adult ticket was $48, the original price of the senior ticket was $24, and the original price of the child ticket was less than the senior ticket.4*(48) > C + 24
lets take C to be
max 23
192 > 23+24
Hence,
SUFFICIENT.
Statement 2:
(2)
The original price of the child ticket was $12.Stand alone this statement is not sufficient to answer. Because values of A and S are unknown.
Hence
Option A
