A concert ticket costs $40. Mr. Benson bought 12 tickets and received a 5% discount for every ticket bought that exceeds 10. How much did Mr. Benson pay in all?
Let's be accurate as possible. Think before you answer.
476
Mr.

Benson had a 5% discount for each of the 12 - 10 = 2 tickets.

So, those two tickets had a $40 x 5 / 100 = $2 discount each.

Hence, each ticket cost $40 - $2 = $38 each.

Thus, two discounted tickets amount to $38 x 2 = $76.

And the other ten tickets amount to $40 x 10 = $400.

Hence, Mr.

Benson paid a total of $400 + $76 = $476.

.

Therefore, the answer is 476
