Question

a water park offered teachers a 15% discount on the regular price of a season pass. the amount of the discount was $18. what is the regular price of the season pass? a $100 b $124 c $110 d $85

Explanation:

Step1: Define variable for regular price

Let \( x \) be the regular price of the season pass.

Step2: Set up discount equation

The discount is 15% of \( x \), and it equals $18. So, \( 0.15x = 18 \).

Step3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by 0.15: \( x=\frac{18}{0.15}=120 \).

Answer:

A. $120
