first column specifies the no of days prior to departure information . second column specifies the percentage discount offered . 0 - 6 days = = > 0 % 7 - 13 days = = > 10 % 14 - 29 days = = > 25 % 30 days or more = = > 40 % the table above shows the discount structure for advanced purchase of tickets at a particular airline . a passenger bought a ticket at this airline for $ 1050 . the ticket agent informed her that , had she purchased the ticket one day later , she would have paid $ 210 more . how many days before her departure did she purchase her ticket .
first i figured out the percentage change from the immediate previous amount for each of the period . thus it comes - 0 - 6 days = = > 0 % 7 - 13 days = = > 10 % ( 90 % of the price ) 14 - 29 days = = > 17 % ( approx ) ( went from 90 % to 75 % ) 30 days or more = = > 20 % ( went from 75 % to 60 % ) if the passenger had to pay the extra amount , she had to pay = ( 210 + 1050 ) = 1260 now 210 is somehow between 10 % and 20 % of 1260 . so 17 % is the choice here . correct ans : 14 days answer : d
divide(multiply(7, const_4), const_2)
