Respuesta :

Answer:

Jamie's tickets = $187.48

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount for which Amanda bought tickets = $218

Jamie bought tickets to the same concert but paid 14% less than Amanda.

Jamie's tickets = [tex]218-14\%\ of\ 218[/tex]

We can solve it as follows :

[tex]218-14\%\ of\ 218=218-\dfrac{14}{100}\times 218\\\\=218-30.52\\\\=\$187.48[/tex]

So, the price of Jamie's tickets is $187.48.
