A couple with two children, ages 6 and 10 years old, decided to go to an amusement park. The regular ticket costs $109, but children below 12 years old have a $5 discount. If they gave the cashier $500, how much change will they receive?
The ticket costs 109 - 5 = $
<gadget id="calculator">109-5</gadget>
<output>104</output>
104 for each child.
So the ticket cost of the two children is 104 x 2 = $
<gadget id="calculator">104*2</gadget>
<output>208</output>
208.
The couple needs to pay the regular price, so it's 109 x 2 = $
<gadget id="calculator">109*2</gadget>
<output>218</output>
218.
Thus, the family needs to pay a total of 208 + 218 = $
<gadget id="calculator">208+218</gadget>
<output>426</output>
426.
Therefore, their change is 500 - 426 = $
<gadget id="calculator">500-426</gadget>
<output>74</output>
74.
